Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signs of acute gastrocnemius injury and to provide the basis for clinical diagnosis. Thirty-two patients with acute gastrocnemius muscle injury (19 males and 13 females, aged 18–63 years, mean 46 years) were recruited, and MRI scans were performed. The results showed that all the lesions of calf gastrocnemius were detected in 32 patients, including first-degree injury in 15 cases, second-degree injury in 15 cases, and third-degree injury in 2 cases. MRI can display the location and pathological changes of acute gastrocnemius injury, providing good imaging data for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Leg joint is the most common part of jumping sports injuries, such as running and basketball, and the common injuries include bone, cartilage, tendon, and ligament injuries. e latest domestic research shows that the leg joint injuries of amateur jumping athletes, such as running and basketball, include ligament injuries, hydrops, and injuries around tendons, synovitis hydrops, cartilage injuries, bone marrow edema, and stress fracture, and there is a close relationship between the leg joint injury and running form in jumping sports such as running and basketball
There is no literature to support the acute injury of leg joints after jumping sports, such as running and basketball. e study of Rabusin and Kappert et al showed that bone marrow edema could be found on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during longdistance running, and this phenomenon mainly appeared in leg joints and feet [9, 10]
Summary
Journal of Healthcare Engineering which represents the ratio of the anisotropic component of the ellipsoid to the entire diffusion tensor and reflects the shape of the entire diffusion ellipsoid. MRI was used to observe the imaging manifestations of the leg joints of asymptomatic amateur runners, basketball, and other jumping athletes, aiming to analyze the MR characteristics of leg joint injuries and the influencing factors of related injuries, so as to provide scientific basis and guidance for the participants of jumping sports, such as runners and basketball, so as to reduce the occurrence of sports injuries. E results showed that jumping sports, such as running and basketball, would not cause serious acute injuries to articular cartilage, ligament, meniscus, or bone marrow of normal people’s leg joints. Slight changes, such as joint effusion or changes in signals in the meniscus, can only be observed after jumping sports, such as running and basketball. As a noninvasive examination method, MRI technology can be used to analyze and evaluate bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, and so on, which has a good value for early clinical diagnosis. is study using MRI to observe asymptomatic amateur jump athletes leg joints images, such as running and basketball, aims to sum up the leg joint damage characteristics of MR and analyze the related factors influencing the leg joint damage and is conducive to prevent injury and guidelines to science amateur jumping athletes, such as running and basketball training and competition, to make due contributions to the development of jumping sports, such as running and basketball
