Radiological Assessment Of Musculoskeletal Disorders: Innovations And Future Directions

Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders encompass a wide range of conditions affecting the bones, joints, muscles, and connective tissues. Accurate diagnosis and management of these disorders rely heavily on advanced radiological techniques. This paper reviews recent innovations in radiological assessment of musculoskeletal disorders, focusing on advances in imaging technologies, such as high-resolution MRI, 3D CT, and ultrasound, as well as emerging techniques like radiomics and machine learning. It also discusses the future directions in this field, including the integration of imaging with genetic and biomarker data, improvements in imaging protocols, and the potential for personalized imaging approaches. By evaluating current research and clinical practices, this paper aims to highlight the transformative impact of recent advancements and to identify areas for future development.
