Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of T2‐weighted fast‐spin‐echo (FSE) and intermediate‐weighted spin‐echo (SE) MR imaging in the detection of meniscal tears. Seventy‐six patients (152 menisci) who had arthroscopic surgery after MR imaging of the knee were studied. MR imaging included intermediate‐weighted SE and T2‐weighted FSE sequences. The use of intermediate‐weighted conventional SE images, T2‐weighted FSE images, and a combination of both sequences were evaluated in the detection of meniscal tears. T2‐weighted FSE imaging was slightly less accurate than intermediate‐weighted SE imaging in the diagnosis of meniscal tears. Interpretation of the menisci using both intermediate‐weighted SE and T2‐weighted FSE imaging did not improve the accuracy over intermediate‐weighted imaging evaluated in isolation.
