Athletic pubalgia / Sports hernia

Is there currently any role for dynamic MRI scans to assess the weakness or excessive bulging of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal in patients with “sports hernia”. Should a dynamic protocol be included in the imaging assessment? Inguinal hernias will mostly be diagnosed on non-dynamic scans.

In general the current imaging protocols focus around the pre-pubic aponeurotic complex injuries (rectus - adductor longus aponeurosis) and other causes of hip and groin pain.
