Background

This analysis highlights how advanced MRI techniques enhance diagnostic accuracy and contribute to more effective treatment decisions for patients with knee pathology.

The standard protocol should include both T2-weighted images, which are sensitive to fluid, and T1-weighted images.

Proton density (PD) and T2-weighted (T2W) sequences are frequently preferred for assessing fibrocartilage, while fat-saturated PD sequences are ideal for evaluating hyaline cartilage. T1-weighted (T1W) and fat-saturated T2W sequences are used for evaluating bone marrow.

Each joint should be imaged in all three planes. A combination of these sequences should be used for a comprehensive assessment.

The MRI evaluation should include an assessment of the ligamentous structures, cartilage, bony structures, bone marrow, soft tissues, bursae, alignment, and any incidental findings.
