The role of MRI in diagnostic imaging of the injured knee.

Am Fam Physician · 1990

Where this comes from

Abstract

Clinical evaluation of the acutely injured knee is often supplemented by radiographic studies. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is rapidly replacing other techniques as the study of choice for evaluating knee injuries. MRI can delineate meniscal tears, cruciate and collateral ligament injuries, and tendon, capsule and cartilage problems.
