Comparative Study
Diagnosis of internal derangement of the knee at 3.0-T MR imaging: 3D isotropic intermediate-weighted versus 2D sequences.
To compare three-dimensional (3D) isotropic fast spin-echo (SE) intermediate-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with two-dimensional (2D) fast SE MR imaging-both performed at 3.0 T-for performance in the diagnosis of internal derangements of the knee. ⋯ The performance of 3D isotropic fast SE intermediate-weighted MR imaging with MPR was not significantly different from that of 2D MR imaging in the diagnosis of cruciate ligament and meniscal tears of the knee.
