Sports Medicine: leverage advanced MRI technology toward more objective biomarkers of MSK injury, concussions and recovery
MR imaging can help determine an athlete’s level of recovery and fitness to allow for a return to play after various sports injuries. Sports Medicine Imaging MR technology helps with diagnosis, informs treatment decisions, and may help predict an athlete’s expected course of recovery, outcome and return to play.
When we do scan professional athletes, we then take what we’ve learned and bring that into the general population.
