In brief: A group of radiologists and orthopedic surgeons discusses the use of x-rays, CAT scans, bone scans, arthrograms, and xeroradiograms in diagnosing sports injuries. Head, spine, knee, and ankle injuries, spleen ruptures, shoulder separations, and stress fractures are covered. The panelists agree that radiologists and sports physicians should maintain good working relationships so that examinations can be tailored to each athlete using the least number of films possible.
