Imaging of Orthopedic Sports Injuries

---

Imaging of sports related injuries has always been a very popular topic and the interest
of radiologists in this domain has even increased in recent years.
Competitive athletes are vulnerable to a variety of injuries and they are often very
demanding in their expectations of a correct diagnosis, appropriate treatment and advice
on prognosis and estimated recovery period. Working in sports imaging means team
effort, whereby sports physicians, physical therapists, orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists
and technicians work closely together. Radiology plays a pivotal role in this process.
Since our society is more fi tness oriented than ever, a large percentage of the general
population is involved in recreational sports activities, and thus prone to injuries. This
underscores the impact of sports medicine in our daily practice.
Imaging of sports injuries has evolved dramatically since the introduction of MR
imaging, high resolution ultrasound and multi-detector computed tomography.
Indeed, whereas imaging evaluation was almost exclusively done by plain radiogra
phy and scintigraphy in the early years, application of new techniques enables the radi
ologist to make a more precise diagnosis.
Before 1988, the term “bone marrow edema” did not exist in the radiological literature,
but since the introduction of MR imaging in musculoskeletal imaging, more than 300
articles have been written on this specifi c item.
Several recent monographs and review articles on sports imaging concentrated on a
single imaging technique, such as ultrasound or MR imaging.
This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of all imaging techniques used
in the evaluation of patients with sports injuries.
Therefore, we summarized the merit of each technique in the diagnostic setting of
these injuries in a concise table in each chapter of this book.
We have been very fortunate to work with talented and outstanding experts in the
fi eld of musculoskeletal imaging.
Furthermore, we are particularly grateful to Professor Albert L. Baert for giving us
the opportunity to edit this work, as well as to our previous mentors Professor Arthur
M. De Schepper and the late Dr. Piet F. Dijkstra for teaching us special aspects of mus
culoskeletal radiology.
We are also deeply indebted to the technicians and co-workers in our respective
departments for providing us high quality images.
Last but not least, we want to thank our families for their constant support while we
were working on this amazing project.
We hope that this work becomes a valuable resource for those participating in the care
of patients who have sustained sports-related injuries.
