Popis: Abstract To reveal the normal values of patellar height measurements using the Blackburne-Peel index on magnetic resonance (MR) images and to show the gender and age differences regarding this measurement technique. This retrospective cross-sectional study investigated 148 knee MR images, and those images were re-evaluated to find out the normal values of patellar height using the Blackburne-Peel index (BPI). An adapted measurement technique of this index was applied to MR images. The study group was analyzed regarding the sex and age differences, correlation with age was investigated, and all descriptive data were presented. Independent Samples T-test, Kruskal–Wallis variance analysis, and Spearman’s Rho correlation test was applied to calculate the results. The mean value was 0.80 ± 0.09 for the total of patients. The measurements regarding the height of the inferior edge of the patella articular surface and the length of the patella articular surface indicated a significant difference between females and males (p
