With more people leading active lifestyles, the need for MR imaging in sports medicine is growing. Our MRI technology offers valuable insights into athlete injuries, providing detailed, radiation-free images of soft tissues, joints, and bones. Mild traumatic brain injuries and cardiovascular diseases can be evaluated using MRI.
MR imaging in sports medicineImaging excellence for all athletes: from daily fitness to peak performance
Highlights
High-speed sports often lead to sprains, fractures, and concussions, while repetitive movements frequently cause upper body injuries. MRI is crucial for diagnosing soft tissue damage and guiding treatment after concussions. For serious athletes, tools like cardiac MRI might help mitigate life-threatening cardiovascular events.
Orthopedic imaging
Provides detailed images of soft tissues, bones, and joints for injury assessment and treatment planning. It can help predict return to play of athletes.
Neuro imaging
Helps evaluating potential soft tissue injuries after mild traumatic brain injuries such as concussions or contusions.
Cardiac imaging
In competitive athletes the incidence of Sudden Cardiac Death is high. Cardiovascular MRI (CMR) is a powerful screening/ risk stratification tool.
Tailored imaging for all athletes
AI integration and automated workflows ensure fast results, while quantitative assessments enable confident treatment decisions and effective recovery monitoring.
