| Popis: | Of all the magnetic resonance examinations performed for studying musculoskeletal disease, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee is the most frequently requested examination. It has replaced knee arthrography in the vast majority of clinical situations. MRI of the knee is currently the diagnostic procedure of choice for the diagnosis of injuries to the menisci, ligaments, and tendons as well as bone bruises and occult fractures in the knee. This review article discusses the technical aspects of performing the MRI examination of the knee. It also discusses the magnetic resonance criteria for diagnosing meniscus tears, ligament and tendon disruptions, and bone bruises. |
