CT hypodensity may reflect edema over hemorrhage in acute strains; hypothesis-generating and should not change imaging practice.
Does computed tomography identify the location and characteristics of acute hamstring muscle strains in college athletes?
CT imaging of acute hamstring strains reveals hypodensity suggesting inflammation and edema rather than bleeding as the major component of injury.
Garrett et al. (1989) studied this question.
