Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Radiology and biomedical imaging play a critical role in advancing our understanding of musculoskeletal research. Musculoskeletal disorders, injuries, and diseases are among the most prevalent causes of disability worldwide, affecting millions of people and placing a significant burden on healthcare systems. Accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and comprehensive rehabilitation rely heavily on imaging technologies such as MRI, CT, and ultrasound, which allow for detailed visualization of musculoskeletal structures and pathology.
This Special Issue, “Radiology and Biomedical Imaging in Musculoskeletal Research”, aims to explore cutting-edge advancements in the use of imaging modalities for enhancing musculoskeletal diagnosis, treatment planning, and rehabilitation. We invite submissions that cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the following:
- Advanced imaging techniques in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal injuries and diseases;
- The role of imaging in monitoring treatment efficacy and recovery outcomes;
- Innovations in interventional radiology for musculoskeletal disorders;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in musculoskeletal imaging;
- Biomechanical imaging and its contribution to understanding musculoskeletal function;
- Comparative studies on the effectiveness of different imaging modalities.
We encourage researchers, radiologists, and clinicians from diverse fields including radiology, orthopedics, sports medicine, and biomedical engineering to submit their original research, review articles, and meta-analyses for this Special Issue. Through this collaboration, we aim to foster new insights into musculoskeletal imaging and improve clinical outcomes for patients.

Manuscript Submission Information
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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
