Abstract:Background & Objectives: Knee is the largest synovial joint in the body. Although FSE PD (fast spin echo proton density) imaging technique for the diagnosis of meniscal tear has replaced CSE PD (conventional spin echo proton density) technique in many MRI centers, several studies have questioned the effectiveness of FSE PD technique in diagnosis of meniscal tear. In this study, the diagnostic values of CSE PD and FSE PD techniques in evaluation of meniscus tear are compared.
Materials:In this study, using CSE … Show more
