Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in detecting Collateral ligament injuries of knee. Methodology:70 patients referred to the Department of Radiodiagnosis for Magnetic Resonance imaging with clinical suspicion of having ligamentous injuries of knee were included in the study.MR imaging of the knee was done with T2WI,T2WI and PD sequences in axial, sagittal and coronal planes. Arthroscopic correlation and statistical analysis were done for these patients Results: Magnetic resonance imaging was found to be accurate and non invasive modality for the assessment of ligamentous injuries. MRI is an appropriate screening tool for therapeutic arthroscopy, and also the test performance is towards diagnostic side than screening, so that it makes diagnostic arthroscopy unnecessary in most of the patients.
