In a prospective study of 25 patients, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was employed to detect meniscal tears in the symptomatic knee. All patients underwent arthroscopy and 21 underwent double contrast arthrography. When correlated with these two diagnostic procedures MRI produced no false negative results. There were, however, six false positive MRI findings all of which related to the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. MRI appears to be reliable in detecting meniscal tears but long examination times continue to limit its clinical usefulness.
在一项针对25名患者的前瞻性研究中,采用磁共振成像(MRI)检测有症状膝关节的半月板撕裂。所有患者均接受了关节镜检查,21名患者还接受了双重对比关节造影。与这两种诊断方法相关联时,MRI没有产生假阴性结果。然而,有6例假阳性的MRI结果,所有这些都与内侧半月板后角有关。MRI在检测半月板撕裂方面似乎是可靠的,但检查时间长仍然限制了其临床应用价值。
