Abstract

The knee is the most common joint examined with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and an extensive and impressive collection of articles describe both normal anatomy and abnormal pathology of the knee. Most of these articles concern the most frequently injured structures in the knee, the menisci and cruciate ligaments, and the literature has documented the excellent accuracy of MR in diagnosing abnormalities of these structures. However, as all of us who read MR of the knee everyday know, we often have more difficulty and spend much time diagnosing the anatomy of and abnormalities of structures less commonly discussed: the collateral ligaments, articular cartilage, bone marrow, synovium, and extensor mechanism. It is these structures that this issue of Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology concentrates on in an effort to clarify their normal anatomy and MR appearance as well as common abnormalities and variants seen on MR imaging.
