Abstract:
Objective To explore the value of low field intensity MR GET2*WI in the diagnosis of meniscus injury.Methods 40 patients with knee injury were examined by various sequences of low field intensity MR to show meniscus.The results of surgery or arthroscopy were acted as diagnostic gold standard of meniscus tear,all samples were confirmed by pathology.Results The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy in diagnosing meniscus tear was 95.65%,92.86% and 94.32% by GET2*WI,and 84.78%,85.71% and 85.23% by FSET2WI respectively.Conclusion Low field intensity MR GET2*WI can show meniscus clearly,it is of significant in the diagnosis of meniscus injury
