Press Release: Imaging identifies cartilage regeneration in long-distance runners PUBLIC RELEASE: 30-NOV-2015 Quote: CHICAGO – Using a mobile MRI truck, researchers followed runners for 4,500 kilometers through Europe to study the physical limits and adaptation of athletes over a 64-day period, according to a study presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). “The fact that ultra-distance running places stress on the body has been well documented,” said Uwe Sch?tz, M.D., a radiologist and specialist in orthopedics and trauma surgery in the Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology at the University Hospital of Ulm in Germany. “Our research provides detailed information on how the various organ systems change and adapt in response to that stress.” The Trans Europe Foot Race (TEFR) took place from April 19 to June 21, 2009.
