The widely practiced sport of cycling presents unique biomechanical challenges leading to distinct injury patterns. This review explores the biomechanics of cycling, correlates them with common injuries, and discusses the imaging findings associated with these conditions. We focus on overuse injuries, acute traumatic injuries, and specific pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying these conditions. Emphasis is placed on the role of magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis and management, highlighting how sport-specific biomechanics influence injury patterns and imaging appearances.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
