Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Musculoskeletal disorders, including injuries and rheumatologic disorders, remain one of the leading causes of disability. On the other hand, musculoskeletal tumors, though rare, may have devastating consequences if not recognized early and confidently. Integrated conventional imaging techniques, including radiographies, CT, MRI, and, in certain occasions, ultrasound, remain the main stays for the diagnostic assessment and surveillance of musculoskeletal diseases and constitute the basis for effective treatment decisions. Advaced techniques, such as functional imaging, enhance the diagnostic capabilities of imaging, whereas minimally invasive techniques using imaging guidance offer theurapeutic benefits at lower cost and significantly less discomfort.
This Special Issue, “Recent Updates in Imaging of Rheumatologic and Neoplastic Musculoskeletal Diseases”, aims to attract high-quality research from imaging scientists, radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, and experts in related fields, and to promote the application of state-of-the-art imaging technology in science and clinical settings, including the diagnosis, treatment, and management of a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal diseases. We seek relevant cutting-edge research in the form of original articles or reviews, and we look forward to your contribution to provide the latest insights for scholars in this field.
