Diagnostic Imaging and Minimally Invasive Treatment of Degenerative Spine Disease

Dear Colleagues,

Diagnostic imaging in spine disease is of paramount importance today, and it includes an understanding of the pathology, its gravity, and influence on life, as well as the psychosocial background. Hence, appropriate management plan is crucial in diagnostic imaging.

Moreover, the constant technological developments have kept providing new updates to diagnostic imaging, with improved imaging visualization and more detailed images allowing a more sophisticated diagnosis and, ultimately, the best therapeutic strategy for the patient.

Spinal surgery sees the benefits of this tremendous technological innovation both in diagnosis and intraoperative imaging and/or navigation tools.  

The goal of this Special Issue of the Journal of Personalized Medicine, “Diagnostic Imaging of Spine Disease”, is to publish new and interesting studies, particularly original research with a clinical focus.
