Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advancements in musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging continue to reshape the landscape of orthopedic diagnostics, yet significant gaps remain in the ability to quantitatively define and standardize many common conditions. While imaging modalities such as X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound are widely utilized, many orthopedic diagnoses—such as spinal stenosis—still rely heavily on clinical assessment rather than objective radiologic criteria. Establishing more precise imaging-based diagnostic thresholds is crucial for enhancing the reliability of radiologic assessments and improving interdisciplinary collaboration between radiologists and orthopedic surgeons.
This Special Issue, Orthopaedic Radiology: Clinical Diagnosis and Application, seeks to highlight innovations in MSK imaging that refine diagnostic accuracy and expand the role of imaging beyond morphologic evaluation. We invite original research, comprehensive reviews, and case-based studies that explore advancements in musculoskeletal imaging techniques. Particular emphasis will be placed on research that can aid in establishing objective radiologic criteria for diagnosing conditions traditionally relying on subjective clinical evaluation.
This issue aims to advance imaging as a definitive diagnostic tool by exploring these topics, paving the way for a more standardized diagnostic approach. We welcome contributions that help shape the future of MSK radiology and improve the precision of orthopedic imaging.
