## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the threeβdimensional (3D) course of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and determine the optimum planes for oblique fullβlength MRI of the ligament. ## Materials and Methods Twentyβfive healthy volunteers were examined. Axial proton densityβweighted (PDw)
Eight pairs of cruciate ligaments were obtained at autopsy for ex-vivo MR imaging. Image analysis demonstrated no differences in intrinsic signal characteristics between the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Histologic examination showed no differences in ligame
