Abstract:
Image-guided percutaneous procedures are increasingly important in managing sports-related overuse and degenerative injuries. Corticosteroid injections remain widely used to reduce inflammation in conditions such as tendinopathies, cartilage lesions, synovitis, joint impingement, and spinal degeneration. However, treatment is evolving toward regenerative approaches, including dry needling, prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma, and orthobiologics, which promote tissue healing. Advances in imaging have expanded applications to more complex conditions, such as chronic muscle pain, bone marrow lesions, nerve entrapment, and low back pain. Overall, these minimally invasive, targeted techniques are transforming sports medicine, offering effective alternatives to surgery and improved recovery outcomes.

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...
