Abstract
CLINICAL/METHODICAL ISSUE: In this article, suitable imaging of stress reactions and stress fractures in athletes will be examined.
STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL METHODS: Diagnostic procedures include X‑ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bone scintigraphy.
METHODICAL INNOVATIONS: MRI represents the gold standard for these types of injuries.
PERFORMANCE: Of all imaging techniques, MRI shows the highest sensitivity in terms of diagnostic and prognostic aspects in stress reactions and stress fractures.
PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: Early performance of MRI to evaluate the staging, therapy and prognosis of the healing process is recommended.
