Dive into the world of medical imaging with Dr. Nirav Pandya, Dr. Brian Feeley, and Dr. Drew Lansdown in this episode of Six to Eight Weeks: Perspectives on Sports Medicine. From x-rays to MRIs, CT scans, and ultrasounds, imaging is a cornerstone of orthopedic care. But when is each modality used, and why?

X-rays: The first step in most evaluations, from ruling out fractures to assessing growth plates in pediatric patients.

MRIs: Uncovering soft tissue injuries, guiding surgical planning, and confirming diagnoses.

CT Scans: Precision imaging for complex fractures and surgical preparation.
