“…The group concluded that MRI is a reliable diagnostic tool for displaced meniscal tears. Crotty et al [9] proposed MRI as a screening tool prior to arthroscopy because of its high sensitivity. Brooks et al [7] demonstrated a 79% agreement between clinical diagnosis and arthroscopic findings but a 77% agreement between MRI and arthroscopic findings.…”

“…The normal menisci are composed of fibrocartilage and are therefore dark on all pulse sequences. 2 Menisci must be evaluated on both the sagittal and coronal images. The most peripheral images of the sagittal plane demonstrate a “bow tie” appearance of the meniscus (Figure 16A).…”

Magnetic resonance imaging is performed more commonly on the knee than on any other joint, and it is an excellent diagnostic tool that can aid in the evaluation of a host of sports-related injuries involving the ligaments, tendons, menisci, osseous structures, and articular surfaces. A thorough evaluation of the images, however, can be a daunting task, as the study often contains dozens of images obtained with multiple pulse sequences and in several imaging planes. A systematic approach will facilitate an accurate and timely evaluation of this complex examination and will ensure that all of the clinically relevant structures are adequately assessed. This article will provide a systematic approach to the interpretation of a magnetic resonance examination of the knee. The normal imaging appearance of each anatomical structure will be described, and the optimal pulse sequence and imaging plane for the evaluation of each structure will be discussed. Finally, the signs of injury will be described and illustrated.

“…208,210 mrI is highly accurate in the evaluation of meniscal tears, with diagnostic certainty reaching approximately 95% with the likelihood of mrI to fail to detect a clinically significant meniscal tear being quite low. 47 The intact meniscus has low signal intensity, appearing uniformly dark on all sequences. a meniscus tear or degeneration appears with bright areas within the meniscus.…”
