Abstract:
Muscle injuries are the most frequent sport injuries in athletes. In addition to a thorough clinical examination and the history of the trauma mechanism, imaging modalities are required to correctly classify the injury and plan the future treatment and rehabilitation. The two major modalities are ultrasound and magnet resonance imaging (MRI). This article aims to give a comprehensive overview on the possibilities and limitations of MRI imaging in musculoskeletal injuries as well as insight into current development, classifications and technologies.
