title: [Magnetic resonance imaging in knee injuries].
abstract: Of all the diagnostic imaging techniques for the injured knee, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been shown the most worthwhile. Indications for standard X rays, arthrography and ultrasonography are briefly reviewed. Advantages of MRI, the technical aspects and the sequences used are explained. After a short description of the signals of all the common anatomic components of the knee, we describe MR findings in meniscal pathology, tenoligamentous lesions and cartilage and bone injuries.
