Decades of technical innovations have propelled musculoskeletal radiology through an astonishing evolution. New artificial intelligence and deep learning methods capitalize on many past innovations in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to reach unprecedented speed, image quality, and new contrasts. Similarly exciting developments in computed tomography (CT) include clinically applicable molecular specificity and substantially improved spatial resolution of musculoskeletal structures and diseases. This special issue of Investigative Radiology comprises a collection of expert summaries and reviews on the most impactful innovations and cutting-edge topics in musculoskeletal radiology, including radiomics and deep learning methods for musculoskeletal disease detection, high-resolution MR neurography, deep learning-driven ultra-fast musculoskeletal MRI, MRI-based synthetic CT, quantitative MRI, modern low-field MRI, 7.0 T MRI, dual-energy CT, cone beam CT, kinematic CT, and synthetic contrast generation in musculoskeletal MRI.
