Evaluation and treatment of the athlete is a popular and growing focus for many chiropractors. Diagnostic imaging serves an important role in the overall management of injuries incurred during sport, impacting athletes from the recreational league to the professional level. This presentation will focus on the role of diagnostic imaging in the neuromusculoskeletal evaluation of athletes from a variety of sports. A case-based approach will be used to discuss when to order imaging for an athlete and what imaging modality is most effective for the evaluation of suspected injuries. Each case will feature a review of common imaging findings for conditions of the neuromusculoskeletal system as seen on radiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and diagnostic ultrasound as applicable. A variety of imaging examples will be provided for each condition. This course will feature interactive, anonymous quizzing of the audience to encourage active participation and evaluation of the cases presented.
Upon completion of this presentation, learners should be able to:
- Discuss the appropriate imaging recommendations for common athletic injuries to the upper and lower extremities.
- Identify common imaging features of musculoskeletal injuries on radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and diagnostic ultrasound, where applicable.
