Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Medical imaging is a vital component in veterinary orthopaedics, offering essential insights into the diagnosis, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal disorders across various species. With the continuous advancement of veterinary medicine, the application of precise imaging techniques, such as radiography (xR), ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has gained increasing prominence in both clinical practice and research. These modalities enable accurate diagnoses of orthopaedic pathologies, enhancing patient outcomes while also advancing our understanding of animal biomechanics, injury mechanisms, and recovery dynamics.
This Special Issue, “Medical Imaging in Veterinary Musculoskeletal Diagnosis”, aims to deepen and update knowledge on the importance of orthopaedic imaging diagnosis in veterinary medicine. Therefore, the inclusion of clinical or experimental research work is encouraged. The research can be based on any type of medical imaging modality (e.g., xR, US, CT, MRI), in different veterinary species: companion animals, species of livestock interest, sport animals, or exotic or wild animals. Through a collection of research articles, reviews, and expert opinions, this Special Issue will contribute as an important resource for veterinarians and researchers on orthopaedic veterinary imaging diagnosis.
