KNEE

This image is a sagittal proton-density weighted fat-saturated image of the right knee that shows high signal in the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Meniscus tears are common injuries in sports and are the most frequent injuries in the knee joint. MRI is highly accurate when it comes to determining pathology and anatomy in joints in the body. Most leading orthopedic surgeons prefer MRI when diagnosing patients.
