High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging of the knee joint: normal anatomy

Abstract

Excellent morphologic detail was depicted in thin-section, high-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) images obtained with the use of a solenoid surface coil specifically designed for the knee joint. The multiplanar anatomy of the knee was determined by correlating MR images of six fresh cadavers and 10 normal adult knees with corresponding photographs of cryoplaned specimens and by a cross-referencing multiplanar imaging technique.
