Abstract

Imaging in golf and racquet sports is becoming increasingly important as the popularity of the sports flourishes among all ages and levels of experience. Because amateurs and professionals show different patterns of injuries, the importance of understanding and applying the biomechanics of the sport to specific injuries and their imaging is paramount. This chapter will detail the biomechanics, types of injuries, and the imaging of golf and racquet sports injuries.
