The authors face the problem of accuracy, specificity and sensitivity of double-contrast arthrography in meniscal injury of the knee. They report the results obtained in a clinical-statistic and retrospective investigation on 206 patients. The final diagnoses were obtained by arthrotomy (105 cases) by arthroscopy (70 cases) and clinically with a follow-up of 6 months (31 patients). Diagnostic accuracy (94,5%), sensibility (92%), specificity (98,7%) and predictive values on positives (99%) and negatives (87,5%), confirm double-contrast arthrography as a highly accurate examination. A specific diagnosis can be made only when the diagnostic modalities are correctly applied and the arthrographers are qualified.
作者们面临膝关节半月板损伤双重造影关节造影术的准确性、特异性和敏感性问题。他们报告了对206例患者进行临床统计学回顾性研究的结果。最终诊断通过关节切开术（105例）、关节镜检查（70例）以及临床随访6个月（31例患者）获得。诊断准确性（94.5%）、敏感性（92%）、特异性（98.7%）以及阳性预测值（99%）和阴性预测值（87.5%），证实双重造影关节造影术是一项高度准确的检查。只有当诊断方法正确应用且关节造影师具备资质时，才能做出明确诊断。
