ABSTRACT. This study aimed to verify the accuracy of lowfield-intensity magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing meniscus tears. A total of 171 patients were examined through low-field-intensity MRI to detect meniscus injuries. These patients were then diagnosed through arthroscopy. Examination results were recorded and compared. The accuracy of the diagnosis for internal and external meniscus tears through low-field-intensity MRI was 95.91% and 95.91%, respectively, the sensitivities were 95.60% and 96.47%, respectively, and the specificities were 96.25% and 95.35%, respectively. Low-field-intensity MRI is an accurate and cost-effective method for diagnosing meniscus tears.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
