title: [Meniscus imaging in MR tomography using surface coils. Anatomy, areas of degeneration, laceration formation].
abstract: High resolution MR imaging using surface coils and thin-section techniques provides specific information when evaluating meniscal diseases. Extension and localisation of meniscal tears can be demonstrated as well as meniscal attachment areas. Diagnosis of degenerative changes is possible. We examined 7 healthy volunteers and 58 patients with suspected knee injuries. This study was done to discuss the use of MRI in the evaluation of meniscal diseases.
