title: MR imaging anatomy of the knee.
abstract: MRI of the knee joint is one of the most common and important clinical applications in most MRI units today. Thorough knowledge of the detailed anatomy is a prerequisite for the understanding of knee pathology. This article reviews the MR anatomy of menisci, the cruciate ligaments, the medial and lateral supporting structures, the extensor mechanism, synovial plicae around the joint and some pitfalls in the interpretation.
