2.6 Conclusion

The diagnosis of sports injuries can be difficult owing to the degree of overlap of symptoms between different injuries, necessitating further imaging evaluation. Different imaging techniques, with their specific advantages and limitations, can be used to diagnose and grade such injuries. The correct use of these imaging modalities will lead to an early and accurate diagnosis preventing the development of chronic pain or other complications and thus, avoiding waste of limited financial resources. The specific merit of each imaging modality in the evaluation of sports related lesions will be further high-lighted in the next chapters and summarized in schematic boxes.
