Overview
Knee MRI uses high resolution proton density and fat suppressed sequences in three planes to assess ligaments menisci cartilage and bone marrow.
Core Sequences
Include sagittal proton density fat suppressed coronal proton density and axial T2 or proton density sequences.
Advanced Techniques
Add cartilage mapping and 3D isotropic sequences for preoperative planning and quantitative assessment when needed.
Patient Positioning
Center coil over knee and minimize motion with padding and clear instructions for patient comfort.
