Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Clinical anatomy provides information on the latest advances and significant discoveries, establishes a strong foundation for multidisciplinary clinical efforts, and introduces a new way of thinking and acting for researchers, scientists, academics, and clinicians.
Clinical anatomy translates anatomical scientific advances and next-generation technologies and digital tools in various areas, including:
- Education, learning, and teaching with the use of metaverse technologies from cloud computing to artificial intelligence (AI), the internet of things (IoT), and digital twins to create training for future medical professionals in different specialties;
- Advanced and detailed hybride and multiparametric diagnostic imaging with new directions in preclinical and clinical functional, molecular, and reconstructive imaging in various diseases by the implementation of immersive digital experiences bring together virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and artifitial inteligence (AI) into real-word evidence (RWE) in clinical anatomy and clinical practice;
- Advanced and minimally invasive treatment using 3D modeling of personal implants and patient-oriented medical treatment with the use of robot-assisted surgery, artificial intelligence in managing new applications and technologies to improve of patient care and medical and scientific workflow.
The timing of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant reduction in education, diagnosis, and face-to-face treatment, which has had an adverse impact, especially in specialties that require face-to-face contact.
Although AR is an expensive solution, it offers almost individual instruction and the possibility of a virtual course of preparation for the procedure in selected cases, taking into account the variability and specific morphological conditions of the patient, and a tool evaluation study used to assess the operation of the various AR modalities, especially when we can combine in-depth anatomical knowledge, its clinical aspect, diagnostics, and functional imaging with specific specializations. This leads to a significant improvement in spatial relationships and helps in understanding key concepts.
New generation AR technologies also designate a progressive level of medical education that is increasingly apparent in following areas: the ability to provide and preserve anatomical details and variations, detect and perceive spatial anatomical relationships, and the rate of teaching and learning. The AR is like clinical anatomy in action and RWE.
The tremendous advances in new technologies for normal and pathological organs allow us the diagnosis of diseases at any level, and radically improves the importance of morphological and clinical aspects.
Clinical anatomy reveals a new perspective on what is happening in patient and patient health and integrates functional efficacy, pathological relevance, and correlations with clinical syndromes.
Research articles and critical reviews of scientific, clinical, and educational significance on the use of clinical anatomy advances and applications in solving clinical problems and the use of clinical observations and next-generation technologies to expand knowledge in the field of clinical anatomy are welcome.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
