Description
Akanksha Sharma and a large team wrote a 2025 study on predicting hamstring strain injuries in pro football players from MRI texture data. Fat inside thigh muscle holds fine patterns a scan can capture. The team asked if those patterns foresee future strains. Muscle balance and past injury data were tested as add-ons.
Scans covered just over ninety professional players, a small share of whom later got hurt. A neighbor-based classifier sorted the feature sets. Radiomic features from hamstring fat alone predicted injury fairly well. Blending them with balance measures did notably better than either alone. Injury history features added little on their own.
