Synopsis

Keywords: Osteoarthritis, CartilageKnee meniscus tears cause fibrocartilage degeneration. Grade III meniscus is viewed as complete meniscus injury and should be further confirmed for the requirement of surgical intervention via arthroscopy. MAGiC provides quantitative relaxometry values. Our study showed that Grade III meniscus can be distinguished from Grade II ones using T1, T2 and PD. This finding suggested MAGiC can assist clinical follow-ups of knee meniscus and screen the indications for arthroscopic surgery.
