RESUMEN
Ultrasound (US) and MR imaging are the most common imaging modalities used to assess sports muscle injuries. The site of the muscle injury can be located at the peripheral aspect of the muscle (myofascial), within the muscle belly (musculotendinous), and with tendon involvement (intratendinous). Tears that affect the intramuscular tendon have a worse prognosis in terms of recovery time. US is an excellent method to evaluate muscle injuries, with high spatial and contrast resolution. MR imaging can be reserved for evaluation of professional athletes, surgical planning, differential diagnosis, and assessment of deep located and proximal muscle groups.
