American Roentgen Ray Society Expanding the Field Imaging of Sports-Related Injuries Beyond the Knee 2026

February 16, 2026
Sports imaging has traditionally centered on the knee, reflecting its high injury burden and impact on athletic performance. This Online Course broadens that focus to sports-related injuries beyond the knee, emphasizing practical, case-based imaging strategies across multiple anatomic regions. Expert faculty review diagnostic considerations, highlight high-yield pearls and pitfalls, and demonstrate how optimized imaging can improve decision making for athletes at all levels. By expanding diagnostic scope and sharpening interpretation outside the knee, radiologists further strengthen their role in multidisciplinary sports medicine teams.
Learning Outcomes and Modules
After completing this course, the learner should be able to:

Recognize the imaging features of common sports-related injuries outside the knee.
Recognize the imaging features of emerging sports-related injuries outside the knee.
Describe pertinent positive and negative findings that should be included in reporting.
Summarize the expanding role radiology plays in sports medicine decision making.

The American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) – Expanding the Field: Imaging of Sports‑Related Injuries Beyond the Knee 2026 course is best for radiologists, sports medicine physicians, orthopedic specialists, and trainees who want to deepen their expertise in musculoskeletal imaging of athletic injuries outside the knee. It emphasizes advanced imaging modalities, diagnostic accuracy, and multidisciplinary collaboration in sports medicine.
