Meniscal tears: MR demonstration of experimentally produced injuries

J Beltran, AM Noto, JC Mosure, JC Bools, W Zuelzer and AJ Christoforidis

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was performed using a 1.5-T magnet on eight immature swine knees with surgically produced vertical and horizontal meniscal tears. Three radiologists, interpreting the images independently, detected all tears. Tears in the middle portion of the meniscus were best seen on sagittal views, while lesions of the anterior and posterior horns of the meniscus were best seen on coronal views. MR has several advantages over arthrography, the current diagnostic method for knee injuries: it is noninvasive, uses no ionizing radiation, and provides excellent soft-tissue contrast resolution.
