Hamstring Muscle Injuries: MRI and Ultrasound for Diagnosis and Prognosis

Abstract

Hamstring injuries (HSI) are the most frequent muscle injuries in active individuals and professional athletes. Early and accurate diagnosis is key for planning a correct and individualised return to play (RTP). For that diagnosis imaging tests such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and ultrasound (US) are the most useful tests in the initial stages.
