Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As the Guest Editor for this Special Issue focused on the role of minimally invasive image-guided interventions in modern medicine, it is my privilege to highlight the key aspects and objectives of this comprehensive edition.

This Special Issue aims to illuminate the pivotal role that minimally invasive image-guided interventions play in contemporary medical practices. It will encompass a wide spectrum of topics, including, but not limited to, interventional radiology, image-guided surgeries, endoscopic procedures, and various innovative techniques advancing minimally invasive interventions.

This Special Issue will delve into the transformative impact of these procedures across diverse medical specialties, exploring their applications in diagnosis, treatment, and patient care. It will showcase the latest advancements, technologies, and clinical studies in this rapidly evolving field, emphasizing their efficacy, safety, and outcomes.

Furthermore, this Special Issue will offer insights into the future trajectories of minimally invasive image-guided interventions, highlighting emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities for further advancements. Through the collective expertise and contributions of esteemed researchers and practitioners, this Special Issue aspires to serve as a valuable resource, fostering dialogue, knowledge exchange, and advancements in modern medical interventions.

I invite researchers, clinicians, and experts in this field to contribute their original research, reviews, and perspectives to enrich this Special Issue and further our understanding of the role and potential of minimally invasive image-guided interventions in shaping the landscape of modern medicine.

We are looking forward to the diverse and insightful contributions that will make this Special Issue a comprehensive and impactful resource in the field of medical interventions.

Best regards,

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a musculoskeletal disorder characterized by articular cartilage degeneration and chronic inflammation, affecting one in five people over 40 years old. The purpose of this study was to provide an overview of traditional and novel minimally invasive treatment options and role of artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline the diagnostic process of KOA. This literature review provides insights into the mechanisms of action, efficacy, complications, technical approaches, and recommendations to intra-articular injections (corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid, and plate rich plasma), genicular artery embolization (GAE), and genicular nerve ablation (GNA). Overall, there is mixed evidence to support the efficacy of the intra-articular injections that were covered in this study with varying degrees of supported recommendations through formal medical societies. While GAE and GNA are more novel therapeutic options, preliminary evidence supports their efficacy as a potential minimally invasive therapy for patients with moderate to severe KOA. Furthermore, there is evidentiary support for the use of AI to assist clinicians in the diagnosis and potential selection of treatment options for patients with KOA. In conclusion, there are many exciting advancements within the diagnostic and treatment space of KOA. Full article
