Traumatic Injuries of the HipEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Traumatic lesions of the hip in athletes may be clinically challenging because of the overlap in clinical presentation due to differing pathologies and the presence of multiple injuries. Imaging of the hip in the athlete has undergone a recent resurgence of interest and understanding related to the increasing accessibility and use of hip arthroscopy, which expands the treatment options available for intra-articular pathology. MR imaging and MR arthrography have a unique role in diagnosis of these pathologies, guiding the surgeon, arthroscopist, and referring clinician in their management of bony and soft tissue injury.

MR Imaging of Overuse Injuries of the HipEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The aim of this article is to emphasize the importance of MR imaging in the evaluation of chronic hip pain and overuse injuries. Image interpretation of the hip can be difficult because of the complex anatomy and the varied pathology that athletes can present with, such as labral and cartilaginous injuries, surrounding soft tissue derangement involving muscles or tendons, and osseous abnormalities. The differential diagnosis in adults is diverse and includes such common entities as stress fracture, avulsive injuries, snapping-hip syndrome, iliopsoas bursitis, femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, tendinosis, and tears of ...

Overuse and Impingement Syndromes of the Shoulder in the AthleteEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Overuse and impingement syndromes in the shoulders of athletes are predominantly caused by instability of the glenohumeral joint. Glenohumeral joint instability is usually acquired from repetitive overuse of the rotator cuff and shoulder girdle muscles, or injury of the static and dynamic stabilizers of the glenohumeral joint. Congenital hypermobility of the joint may also contribute to these syndromes in some individuals. The throwing action may lead to a cascade of injuries to the static and dynamic stabilizers of the posterosuperior glenohumeral joint, caused by the repetitive, high-energy nature of the action rather th...

Musculoskeletal MRI continues to be an ever-expanding field of rapid development and progress, particularly with the increased introduction of 3-Tesla scanners into imaging centers. Elite athletes benefit the most from the recent advancements in our field because of the ready and often immediate access they have to MRI, with most musculoskeletal radiologists enthusiastic to provide their imaging expertise and service. The recreational athlete and the mature athlete have also benefited from the improved resolution of MRI. Mature athletes are particularly susceptible to injury, given their age and their need to be active for...

PrefaceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
MR imaging has become a mainstay in the evaluation of pediatric musculoskeletal disorders. In addition to all the well-known advantages MR imaging offers to musculoskeletal imaging in the adult, MR imaging offers special advantages to children. First, MR imaging is superior in visualizing the cartilaginous aspects of the growing skeleton and in imaging the bone marrow. Second, and very importantly, it provides detailed imaging without radiation exposure. Relatively minor disadvantages to pediatric MR imaging include the need for sedation in younger, uncooperative patients and some technical limitations related to the small...

PrefaceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conventional MR imaging of the brain and body has traditionally relied on standard contrast mechanisms, namely T1- and T2-weighted imaging. In the 1990s, the advent of contrast-enhanced imaging for advanced angiographic and perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) led to the improved characterization of brain tumors and brain ischemia. During the early to mid 1990s, qualitative diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the brain revolutionized the detection of acute ischemic stroke and the management of ischemic neurological disease.
