Advances in Clinical Anatomy: Morphometric Analysis and Diagnostic Relevance

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue “Advances in Clinical Anatomy: Morphometric Analysis and Diagnostic Relevance” explores the evolving role of anatomical research in enhancing diagnostic precision and clinical outcomes. In modern medicine, understanding human morphology through both cadaveric dissection and advanced imaging is essential for bridging structural anatomy with clinical application.

This Special Issue focuses on studies that investigate anatomical structures and variations through cadaver-based analysis, detailed morphometric evaluations, medical imaging (including CT, MRI, and ultrasonography), and three-dimensional reconstruction techniques. Research that integrates quantitative anatomical data with diagnostic interpretation or therapeutic planning, as well as comprehensive or review-based approaches demonstrating clear clinical relevance, is encouraged. Contributions linking morphological findings with radiologic, surgical, or educational perspectives are also of great interest.

By emphasizing cadaveric and imaging-based anatomical research, this Special Issue highlights how contemporary morphometric approaches advance diagnostic accuracy, surgical safety, and evidence-based clinical practice. We invite authors to share work that deepens the understanding of human morphology and strengthens the connection between anatomy and clinical medicine.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
