Abstract:
The pattern and mechanism of sports injuries in disabled athletes and the challenges to overcome such injuries is well documented. However, there is limited information regarding the specifics of medical imaging of the injured disabled athletes. This article, reflects on the experience gained during the organisation and provision of the imaging services for the London 2012 Paralympic games. The knowledge gained during these games, in conjunction with information from the existing literature on sporting injuries in disabled athletes can help planning and delivery of well-coordinated imaging services at major disability sporting events.
