Anatomical Differences Between T2 WI FSE and Proton Density Fat Saturation Sequences in MRI Examination of Knee Joint with Sagittal Slice
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Background: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) must be visible for radiologists when performing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). One of the sequences used to reveal ACL and PCL is T2WI FSE sequence with Proton Density Fat Saturation. The difference sequence will result in different image quality. Objective: The aim of the research is to find the difference anatomy information between T2WI FSE sequence and Proton Density Fat Saturation on sagittal slice and to identify what sequence is better to reveal ACL and PCL anatomy. Methods: This research is experimental queasy. Data consists of 20 images from knee joint MRI sagittal slices from 10 volunteers with two variation procedures: T2WI FSE and Proton Density Fat Saturation. 20 pictures of ACL and PCL anatomy were reviewed by three experienced radiologists in MRI. Data were analyzed with Wilcoxon test. Results: The result of this research is showing the difference of anatomy information between T2WI FSE sequence with Proton Density Fat Saturation on MRI examination for Knee Joint sagittal slices.The result indicates that the mean rank value of T2WI FSE sequence (4.50) is better than Proton Density Fat Saturation sequence (0.000). Conclusion: Since there is a different anatomy information between the two sequences on MRI knee joint sagittal slices, the T2WI FSE sequence is recommended for showing anatomy information of ACL and PCL.
