Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of the knee: examples of normal anatomy and pathology

Abstract
NMR images of the knee were obtained from 3 normal volunteers and from 2 patients. The pathology included an osteosarcoma of the distal femur and a fracture of the tibia. Steady State Free Precession (SSFP) techniques were used with a 0.15 Tesla resistive type magnet. Normal anatomy was well displayed and the size of the osteosarcoma was accurately predicted. Using SSFP techniques, the blood in the knee joint was not visualized, but the underlying tibial fracture was clearly outlined.
