Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapid development of medical technology, medical imaging has undergone tremendous changes in the past few years. Among them, Radiomics, as an emerging medical image analysis method, has shown great potential in diagnosis, prognosis prediction, efficacy evaluation and personalized treatment. This Special Issue will focus on the latest progress of Radiomics in medical imaging in recent years.

Radiomics extracts, analyzes and mines a large amount of high-dimensional information contained in medical images to achieve accurate diagnosis and in-depth understanding of diseases. Compared with traditional image analysis methods, Radiomics can reflect the characteristics of lesions more comprehensively and accurately, and improve the accuracy of diagnosis.

This Special Issue will invite experts and scholars in related fields to conduct in-depth discussions and exchanges on the latest research progress of Radiomics in medical imaging. We hope that through the discussion and exchange of this Special Issue, we can promote the application and development of Radiomics in medical imaging and make greater contributions to the cause of human health.

Background: Occlusal splints and anterior repositioning splints (ARSs) are widely accepted treatments for temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). However, there is uncertainty with regard to the most suitable amount of mandibular repositioning. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical and functional effects of the therapeutic position (ThP) established based on the Controlled Mandibular Repositioning (CMR) method. Methods: In this clinical trial, 20 subjects with 37 joints with disc displacement with reduction were recruited. The initial standard functional diagnostic protocol, MRI, and digital condylography were performed, and ThP was calculated with the CMR method. After a 6-month follow-up, the standard diagnostic protocol was repeated. The change in disc position was evaluated by means of MRI after 6 months of CMR therapy. Results: The MRI findings in the parasagittal plane demonstrated that out of the 37 joints presenting disc displacement, 36 discs were successfully repositioned; thus, the condyle–disc–fossa relationship was re-established. Therefore, the success rate of this pilot study was 97.3%. The mean position of the displaced discs was at 10:30 o’clock of the TMJ joint and at 12:00 o’clock after CMR therapy. Conclusions: The ThP determined using the CMR approach reduced all of the anteriorly displaced discs (except one). The CMR method allowed to define an optimum ThP of the mandible thus supporting patients’ effective adaptation to treatment position. Full article
