Human meniscus is one of the important tissues related to the maintenance of the performance of knee joint, which plays a critical role in the normal biomechanics. The purpose of this study is to improve the zonal image contrast of human meniscus via imaging at moderately short TE using minimal phase RF pulse with optimized rephasing gradient.
