This Research Topic aims to encapsulate the recent technical advancements in MRI techniques which have significantly impacted the field of musculoskeletal diagnostics. Over several years, the indispensable role of MRI in accurately diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions has been unarguably accepted. However, the continuous evolution of this modality has introduced newer techniques capable of providing superior diagnostic insights.

By providing comprehensive investigation of these vanguard MRI techniques, we aim to address a vital gap in their broader understanding and acceptance in routine clinical practices. Specifically, we aim to elucidate how the advancements in MRI techniques are uniquely poised to enhance the precision, reliability, and outcome predictability of musculoskeletal disorder diagnoses. Ultimately, achieving this would translate into improved patient care and
superior healthcare delivery.

The prevalence of musculoskeletal conditions has been on the rise globally, hence, the urgency for more sophisticated diagnostic tools. MRI has been a preferred choice for its non-invasive nature and detailed imaging capabilities. Nevertheless, there's a need for further exploration of its potential, especially focusing on the advanced techniques that have lately emerged. These innovative techniques promise comprehensive diagnosis insights beyond
what traditional MRI offers and potentially revolutionizing musculoskeletal disorder management.

This Research Topic welcomes contributions that delve into various technical and clinical aspects of advanced MRI techniques in musculoskeletal imaging. Specifically, we are interested in themes that cover but are not limited to, four-dimensional MRI, diffusion- weighted imaging, quantitative MRI, and Magnetic Resonance Elastography. We encourage authors to provide critical appraisals of these techniques' potential implications in clinical
practices.
We are interested in original research, reviews, clinical trials, case studies, and comparative studies. Authors should aim to illuminate the practical benefits, challenges, and potential strategies for integrating these advanced techniques into existing diagnostic protocols for musculoskeletal conditions.
