Is There a Radiologist in the Stadium? The High-Stakes World of Pro-Sports Imaging

Could you handle the high-stakes pressure of working with professional athletes? Chris Beaulieu, MD, PhD, speaks with co-hosts Lindsey Negrete, MD and Amy Maduram, MD about the medical, legal, and communication challenges involved when dealing with a professional sports franchise. Listen to their discussion in episode 2 of Extreme Radiology, an AJR Podcast Series.

*Key Takeaways

The Monday Morning Rush: While game-day X-rays are typically read by team orthopedists at the stadium, the radiologist's critical role begins on Monday morning with reserved MRI slots to accurately stage and grade joint injuries.

Call it Tight, But Call it Right: Radiologists should avoid overcalling minor, non-acute incidental findings, such as mild degenerative changes, that could needlessly trigger panic.

Controlling the Narrative: Direct communication with players, coaches, or sports agents is highly discouraged due to the risk of misinterpretation. Radiologists maintain a strict reporting chain directly to the head athletic trainer and team orthopedic surgeon.

Astronomical Liability: The malpractice risk in pro sports imaging operates on a vastly different scale, with potential liability reaching hundreds of millions of dollars to cover an athlete's lost career wages.

Second Opinions: Because most sports injuries are non-surgical and imaging serves as the gold standard, agents frequently demand multiple opinions.
