Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging is a noninvasive imaging modality with clear contrast and superior spatial resolution. These characteristics are especially useful for detecting pathology of the soft tissue of the knee joint, such as the menisci, ligaments and articular cartilage, which are difficult to diagnose using plain X-ray examination. MRI has become one of the first choice diagnostic modalities for the internal derangement of the knee joint, and is generally replacing some invasive arthrographic or arthroscopic examination. Pathology of the articular cartilage cannot yet be depicted clearly by MRI. We expect further development of the spatial resolution of MRI to make possible the detection of chondral lesions more clearly and precisely in the near future.
