“…In humans, advanced imaging is used to detect shoulder disease and magnetic resonance arthrography is reported to be very accurate and the most useful imaging modality 24–26. Although ultrasound has been reported to be equally accurate to MRI for the diagnosis of rotator cuff tendon injuries,27 MRI is the modality mainly used for the diagnosis of tendon diseases 28. Ultrasound is, however, indicated to search for foreign bodies and when MRI is contraindicated 29.…”

This report describes the ultrasonographic and CT arthrography (CTA) findings in biceps brachii tendon rupture in two dogs. Ultrasonographic examination of the affected shoulder joints preceded advanced imaging in both dogs and was suggestive of partial or complete avulsion/rupture of the biceps brachii tendon and chronic tendonitis. Subsequent CTA demonstrated complete rupture/avulsion of the biceps brachii tendon in the affected shoulder joints in both dogs. The biceps brachii tendon could be identified as a contrast filling defect within the synovial space. Pooling of the contrast medium was identified close to its origin and was suggestive of biceps brachii tendon rupture in both cases described here. In this case report, avulsion of the biceps brachii tendon was suspected using ultrasonography alone but confirmed by CTA.

“…MRI scans were available for all Olympic athletes during the games. Several prior publications have reported frequencies of various injuries (of different types and locations) sustained by Rio Olympic athletes [ [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] ], however none of the published papers focused on the frequency of OA.…”

“…Recently there have been several reports describing the epidemiological aspects of sports injuries sustained at the Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympic Games in 2016 including muscle injuries [2][3][4][5]. However, to the best of our knowledge, a critical and detailed review of imaging-depicted muscle injuries involving elite athletes with impairment during the summer Paralympic Games has not been described.…”

Background: Muscle injuries may affect elite athletes including those competing at the Paralympic Games. We aimed to describe the frequencies, anatomic distribution, and severity of muscle injuries involving Paralympic athletes during the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Summer Paralympic Games.Methods: Imaging-depicted muscle injuries in Paralympic athletes were identified upon retrospective review of all MRI studies performed at the Games. Images were evaluated retrospectively by five board-certified musculoskeletal radiologists with expertise in sports injuries. We recorded the distribution of muscle injuries by sports discipline, athletes' impairment type, anatomic location and severity of injuries using the modified Peetrons classification and the British Athletics Muscle Injury Classification (BAMIC). Demographic characteristics including impairment type were also analyzed.Results: 4378 para athletes from 160 teams were included. 242 MRI exams were performed and there were 35 MRI-depicted muscle injuries in 33 athletes (73% male, mean age: 28.7 years -range 20-41). Para athletes from track and field (athletics) disciplines were most commonly affected by muscle injuries (N = 23, 66%), followed by football players (N = 4, 11%) and power lifters (N = 4, 11%). The majority of injuries affected lower limb muscles (N = 28, 80%), with the biceps femoris being the most common (N = 10, 29%). Most frequent injuries were modified Peetrons grade 1 injuries (N = 15, 43%), and BAMIC grade 2a injuries (N = 7, 20%). Conclusion:Muscle injuries in this population were rare. Hamstring muscle injuries were the most common and were observed most frequently in ambulatory para athletes competing in athletics.
