Abstract
Quantitative musculoskeletal imaging is a rapid growing multidisciplinary research field covering a broad spectrum of basic, translational, and clinical aspects of bone, cartilage, muscle, and mineral metabolism. This special issue will encourage talks on new research developments and results related to quantitative imaging and processing techniques and image-based computational biomechanics on bone, cartilage, muscles, and fat and their interactions with osteoporosis, arthritis, oncology, endocrine, inflammatory diseases, nutrition, aging etc. Particular attention will be given on new methods and developments related to musculoskeletal imaging, processing, and biomechanical analysis useful for translational research and clinical studies. Advances in quantitative microstructural in vivo imaging are particularly welcome as well as contributions that seek to integrate multimodality information.
