Advanced MRI and Ultrasound procedures for the benefit of the athletes
Main focus of sports medicine in competitive athletes and professional sport is on return to competition. The primary imaging modalities to assist the clinician are MRI and ultrasound as most injuries of the athletes are muscle and joint related. Esaote’s MRI and Ultrasound systems can assist in the clinical and functional assessment of the athlete for a better estimate of recovery times and the final evaluation of the return to competition.
Furthermore, MRI and Ultrasound imaging can play an important role in the overall evaluation of the athlete regarding identification of the risk of re-injury and cardio performance evaluation and monitoring.
Thanks to a new technique called "HyperDoppler", with standard echocardiography systems, sports medicine physicians can obtain measurements regarding pathologies like e.g. hypertrophic cardiomyopathy next to the possibility to verify the global heart function.
