Keywords: Whole Joint, MSK
Motivation: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are prevalent in the realm of knee injuries. Conventional MRI methodologies employed for diagnosing ACL tears exhibit low accuracy.
Goal(s): Evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of high-resolution coronal MRI performed at an optimal flexion angle specifically for ACL tears.
Approach: Healthy volunteers and patients are scanned to find the optimal flexion angle and compare the image quality with traditional extended-knee positioning approach.
Results: The implementation of high-resolution coronal imaging at the ideal flexion angle (30 degrees) has the potential to enhance ACL visualization and improve diagnostic accuracy when compared with conventional techniques.
Impact: The utilization of high-resolution coronal imaging at the optimal flexion angle (30 degrees) demonstrated a substantial enhancement in the visualization of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), resulting in a notable improvement in diagnostic accuracy as compared to conventional techniques.
