Usefulness of the oblique view of three-dimensional isotropic T2-weighted fast spin-echo (VISTA) in the evaluation of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
BACKGROUND
To compare the diagnostic performance of the oblique sagittal and oblique coronal views of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on three-dimensional (3D) volume isotropic turbo spin-echo acquisition (VISTA) images with two-dimensional (2D) fast spin-echo (FSE) T2-weighted images in the diagnosis of complications in ACL reconstruction.


METHODS
This retrospective study included 74 patients. Both sequences were independently interpreted by two radiologists.


RESULTS
There were no statistically significant differences in the sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy between the two images.


CONCLUSIONS
The diagnostic performance of the two oblique views on 3D VISTA imaging was comparable to that of 2D FSE.
