Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Interventional radiology has grown immensely in importance and value over the last several decades, with technological advances allowing the use of new treatments on a larger scale. As an integral part of the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, interventional radiology utilizes different image-guided techniques to perform well-directed and highly precise therapeutic as well as diagnostic procedures, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), radiography (X-rays) and ultrasound (US). By utilizing such diagnostic imaging tools, interventional radiology offers targeted procedures for patients, as well as minimally invasive therapeutic and alternative therapies from the early stages of disease.

On the other hand, radiology has been a leader of digital and intelligent transformation in medicine. Over decades, radiologists have explored new possibilities of computer-aided diagnosis tools based on machine learning. Among the various AI techniques, the deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) and its variants have been widely used in medical image recognition. Artificial intelligence is facilitating the next step in the transformation of radiology with new powerful tools, and possibly evolving a one-stop integrated diagnostic procedures.

The evolution of modern interventional radiology now encompasses all of medicine, changes real-time treatment and diagnosis of disease. This Special Issue aims to summarize recent advances in this special domain of medicine, especially innovative techniques for diagnostic imaging and image-guided intervention. All clinical, non-clinical and basic science works are welcome.

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.

In this article, the authors review the role of ultrasound guidance in MSK mini-invasive surgery. Ultrasound imaging has become an important tool in the field of musculoskeletal examination and has advantages over the X-ray guidance traditionally used by orthopaedic surgeons. Ultrasound provides the 3D localization of the area where the instruments are being used, does not require X-ray’s certified personnel, and poses less of a health risk to the patient and the medical staff. This article explores the development and application of ultrasound navigation in mini-invasive surgery, including the use of ultrasound during different stages of arthroscopic procedures or for the entire operation. Ultrasounds can assist in setting access points around the joint, localize the pathology and assure its complete resection, identify vessels and nerves, establish access to and constant control of difficult operating areas with a high potential for neurovascular complications. In this paper, the authors also acknowledge that there are some disadvantages, including the need for additional equipment and personnel, a long learning curve, and the potential elongation of the procedure. To identify all of the essential studies that report relevant information and data concerning the ultrasounds navigation in mini-invasive MSK surgery, an extensive search of the major and significant electronic databases was performed by two authors. An investigation was conducted in January 2023 using the following key terms: ultrasounds navigation, ultrasounds in arthroscopy, ultrasounds in MSK, with no limits regarding the year of publication. The authors focused both on the advantages and disadvantages of ultrasound navigation in MSK mini-invasive surgery, and also on particular techniques in mini-invasive and arthroscopic surgeries. The described techniques are the application of ultrasound in arthroscopy (knee, hip, and shoulder), hallux rigidus surgery, mini-invasive Achilles tendon surgery, gastrocnemius recession, carpal tunnel release, and hematoma evacuation.
