Subscapularis tendinopathy is highly prevalent in elite swimmer's shoulders: an MRI study.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of abnormal anatomical change present on MRI in elite swimmers' shoulders compared to age-matched controls.

Design: Descriptive epidemiological study.

Methods: Sixty (aged 16-36 years) elite Australian swimmers and 22 healthy active, age and gender matched controls (aged 16-34 years).

Adherence to MRI protocol consensus guidelines in multiple sclerosis: an Australian multi-centre study.

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease that causes significant morbidity within a young demographic. Diagnostic guidelines for MS have evolved, and imaging has played an increasingly important role in diagnosis over the last two decades. For imaging to contribute to diagnosis in a meaningful way, it must be reproducible.

Imaging and diagnostic criteria for Multiple Sclerosis: are we there yet?

Introduction: Excluding post traumatic injury, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common disabling neurological disorder of young adults. Although the effect on mortality is limited, the association of a young demographic and significant morbidity combine to make MS a devastating disease. Since MS was given its first detailed description in 1868, diagnostic criteria continue to evolve.
