CT arthrography and MRI of the patella.
The importance of CT scanning in the diagnosis of patello-femoral disorders is reviewed and illustrated. CT double-contrast technique is compared to Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) using both clinical examples and a cadaver study. The authors demonstrate the superiority of MRI to CT in detecting retropatellar cartilage lesions.
