MR arthrography of the knee: how, why, when.
MR arthrography combines the techniques of arthrography with MR imaging to benefit from the added imaging information afforded by intra-articular distention. This article reviews technical considerations for MR arthrography, potential complications, indications, pitfalls in imaging diagnosis, and commonly encountered pathology. It is an elegant study that can offer precise diagnostic information in the appropriate clinical setting.
