Abstract
Ultrasound imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of injuries in professional soccer players. With the rapid increase in the availability of hand-held portable ultrasound devices and the pressure to make timely and accurate diagnosis in professional soccer where return to play time is crucial, ultrasound imaging is an essential diagnostic tool. In this article, we discuss examples of injuries that can be adequately assessed by ultrasound imaging alone and injuries where ultrasound imaging provides a useful first step to guide further investigation and management.
期刊介绍:
Skeletal Radiology provides a forum for the dissemination of current knowledge and information dealing with disorders of the musculoskeletal system including the spine. While emphasizing the radiological aspects of the many varied skeletal abnormalities, the journal also adopts an interdisciplinary approach, reflecting the membership of the International Skeletal Society. Thus, the anatomical, pathological, physiological, clinical, metabolic and epidemiological aspects of the many entities affecting the skeleton receive appropriate consideration.
This is the Journal of the International Skeletal Society and the Official Journal of the Society of Skeletal Radiology and the Australasian Musculoskelelal Imaging Group.
