Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, rapid technological progress has transformed musculoskeletal imaging, enabling earlier diagnosis, improved disease characterization, and more precise treatment planning. Innovations such as high-resolution MRI, dual-energy CT, and ultrasound elastography offer unprecedented detail in assessing diseases affecting bones, nerves, ligaments, and tendons. Moreover, artificial intelligence and machine learning are being increasingly integrated into imaging workflows, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. These advances not only improve outcomes in trauma, arthritis, and sports injuries but also expand our understanding of musculoskeletal diseases. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers on the latest developments in musculoskeletal imaging, with a special focus on both clinical applications and future directions.
