Overview

Magnetic resonance represents a major diagnostic advance in sports medicine. It is a new method that indicates sports injuries to cartilage, ligaments, tendons and fine bone texture. Similarly, MR spectroscopy is a novel tool for the in vivo dynamic study of muscle metabolism. The main part of this study focuses on the proven clinical indications, contributions and semiology of MRI in sports medicine, especially with regard to the osteo-articular system. The knee, the joint most commonly injured by athletes and best exemplifying the assets of MRI, is thoroughly discussed. The book also gives a short introduction to the technical and physical aspects of MRI. It includes a discussion of MRI in clinical research and the study of sports physiology, namely in sports cardiology and muscle physiology.
