title: [Quantitative evaluation of knee joint effusions with high resolution real-time sonography].
abstract: In three human cadaver specimens an intraarticular effusion of the knee was simulated by injecting sodium chloride in 10 ml portions. The sonographic appearance and quantification as well as the location of the fluid were evaluated. Effusions of the knee joint are a principal sign for many diseases. Their sonographic evaluation is easy and provides valuable clinical information.
