Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue focusing on cutting-edge applications of ultrasound imaging and interventions for fascial pathologies. Fascial tissues play a critical role in musculoskeletal function, and their intricate anatomy and dynamic nature present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
This Special Issue aims to showcase innovative ultrasound-guided techniques that are transforming our ability to visualize, characterize, and treat fascial disorders. We welcome submissions covering topics such as
- Novel ultrasound imaging modalities for fascial assessment;
- Ultrasound-guided interventions for fascial adhesions, entrapments, and defects;
- Integrating advanced ultrasound into the diagnosis and management of myofascial pain syndromes;
- The use of ultrasound for guiding minimally invasive fascial release procedures;
- Quantitative ultrasound biomarkers for evaluating fascial remodeling and healing.
Covering the fields of radiology, physical medicine, and regenerative therapeutics, in this Special Issue, we aim to catalyze multidisciplinary collaborations and accelerate progress in this rapidly evolving area of musculoskeletal care. We encourage submissions from clinicians, scientists, and engineers working at the forefront of new applications of fascial ultrasound.
We look forward to receiving your high-quality contributions that will help expand the boundaries of fascial diagnostics and interventions, and we encourage you to reach out with any questions you may have.
