The purpose of this educational poster is to:
- Delineate knee fat pad anatomy and pathology by presenting a structured, imaging-based approach to identify normal anatomy versus pathology.
- Provide a simplified yet comprehensive classification system that allows rapid categorization of lesions.
- Introduce a step-wise diagnostic workflow that is tailored for routine radiology practice and helps in arriving to the diagnosis quicker and more efficiently.
- Offer a quick MRI signal correlation key that links sequence-specific findings with probable differential diagnoses.
- Present a single-glance overview of major fat pad pathologies, integrating clinical vignette, multimodality imaging features, and a diagnostic pearl.
- Highlight Hoffa’s fat pad as a niche but clinically significant topic, emphasizing its role in evaluating patients with unexplained anterior knee pain. This poster is designed to function as an educational reference and a practical diagnostic guide to be utilized for daily reporting.
