The incentive for the editors of this textbook was to draw together, in one book, the current and relative information regarding the clinical use of magnetic resonance imaging in the area of sports medicine. Furthermore, they wished to give orthopaedists the opportunity to provide information to radiologists about the clinical conditions that are frequently investigated with use of magnetic resonance imaging and, at the same time, give radiologists the opportunity to provide salient information to orthopaedists about the science behind magnetic resonance imaging as well as the possibilities and indications for the use of magnetic resonance imaging in the management of sports-related clinical conditions. To accomplish this, each chapter is composed of two subchapters, one written by a radiologist and the other written by an orthopaedist. The editors themselves are noted authorities in the field of bone and joint radiology as well as sports medicine, and they recruited an additional thirty-four contributors to author various chapters.
