MR imaging of the meniscus.
It should be the goal of any radiologist who interprets MRI examinations of the knee to be able not only to recognize normal meniscal anatomy and accurately diagnose meniscal pathology, but also to develop a better grasp of the surgical implications of the imaging findings. By thinking more like an arthroscopist, one can provide a more clinically relevant report, and by doing so, add value to the work-up of a patient who presents with a potential meniscal tear.
