MRI of the knee in adults.
MRI of the knee is a crucial component for evaluating symptomatic patients. An awareness of normal and abnormal appearances assists in clinical decision making. Chronic degenerative changes and focal traumatic injuries can sometimes be confused with one another, so differentiation is crucial. As technology continues to evolve, identifying early disease and preventing disease progression will become an integral part of MRI interpretation.
