Analysis of patellar cartilage: Comparison of conventional MR imaging and MR and CT arthrography in cadavers

Abstract

For noninvasive techniques, T2-weighted images revealed the highest sensitivity for the detection of patellar cartilage lesions, which was surpassed only by MR arthrography using the SPGR sequence. CT arthrography delineated surface irregularities but failed to demonstrate intrachondral lesions.
