Abstract

This article provides an overview of two relatively new techniques that can be used for the early detection of musculoskeletal injury: biochemical markers and CT. The emphasis in the biomarker section is on the early detection of joint disorders because these are most important clinically and most of the research has been conducted in this area. In the section on CT, bone is the target tissue.
