Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The role of imaging in the diagnosis, follow-up and treatment response assessment in rheumatic diseases is well recognized. This is true both for musculoskeletal manifestations and systemic involvement resulting in organ damage. Alongside traditional methods, the recent technological development provided us with functional and novel emerging techniques, especially new magnetic resonance sequences, which can be used to obtain information in the early phases of rheumatic diseases or to identify subtle modifications during treatment. This Special Issue will collect original research articles and review articles seeking to address state-of-the-art and innovative imaging methods, as well as traditional and new imaging features to be used to diagnose rheumatic diseases and monitor disease activity during and after treatment.
