Abstract
Skeletal muscle is the single largest tissue in the body, making up 25-50% of one’s total body weight. Muscle injuries can be classified into those due to indirect trauma and those due to direct trauma. Indirect trauma injuries include delayed onset muscle soreness and muscle strain . direct trauma injuries are subdivided into muscle contusions and muscle laceration. Complications of muscle injuries are hematoma , myositis osificans muscle atrophy and muscle herniation. MRI is the imaging test of choice for evaluating muscle and tendon disorders. MRI commonly is used to target the location, severity, and extent of the pain generator. Specifically, MRI of muscle also may be indicated to: aid in a prompt diagnosis of high performance athletes; exclude superimposed derangements (e.g., stress fracture); narrow the clinical differential diagnosis; predict the prognosis or possible complications associated with a disorder; direct the type and location of an intervention (such as biopsy or surgery, when indicated); and monitor treatment response or complications objectively.
