Musculoskeletal trauma imaging in the era of novel molecular methods and artificial intelligence

Imaging of musculoskeletal (MSK) trauma has rapidly evolved over the past decade. Advances in imaging methods have revolved around two main axes: (i) molecular imaging (MI) and (ii) artificial intelligence (AI), which have opened new horizons for the diagnosis and treatment of MSK trauma. MI aims at providing information on a more specific level based on the molecular pathophysiological processes rather than the morphologic finding of one or more structures, i.e. a bone tumor. On the turn of the century, the ability of various imaging methods to unravel the molecular paths of many disorders, opened a new window in the science of imaging [1-4].
