Abstract:
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a kind of degenerative joint disease characterized by cartilage lesion, meniscus injury, bone marrow lesion, synovitis osteophyte and ligament injury. MRI can clearly display articular cartilage, meniscus and other soft tissues, intuitively understand the anatomical structure or lesion type of the knee, methods with high specificity and sensitivity can be selected according to the progress of OA and pathological types to diagnose OA in early stage before morphological changes occured in knee soft tissue and surrounding tissues. The application progresses of MRI in evaluation on knee OA were reviewed in this article.
