Abstract
A system for magnetic resonance imaging of the knee joint during movement was developed by using a gating system and cine acquisition. The technique was used in 10 subjects: five with no history of knee pain or injury and five with tears of the anterior cruciate ligament. The normal ligaments and menisci appeared as low-intensity structures against intermediate-intensity hyaline cartilage. The ligament tears appeared discontinuous and faint against the background of the to-and-fro moving joint fluid.
