Background: There are clinical situations that radiology physicians need to assess Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) clearly with the two typical sequences (T2WI FSE sequence and Proton Density Fat Saturation). However, a slight difference in using the applied sequences will result different levels of image quality information. The aim of this study is to compare clinical  manifest in anatomical information on the resulted images between  T2WI FSE sequence and Proton Density Fat Saturation and to define the best sequence that fit to reveal ACL and PCL of the knee joint..Methods: The research was an experimental quasy. 20 sagital slices of  the knee jointMRI were acquired from 10 volunteers who underwent MRI examinations with the two methods (T2WI FSE and Proton Density Fat Saturation). 3 experienced radiology physicians blended in the image scoring when review ACL and PCL appearances on knee MRI images. Inter-observer suitability was checked with Kappa test. A non-parametric Wilcoxon analyses was the statistical tool to test the null hypothesis.Results: The result showed a significant difference in anatomical information of ACL and PCL when T2WI FSE and Proton Density Fat Saturation sequences applied on the MRI of the knee jointsagital slices (p-value 0,05). The mean rank of T2WI FSE was better than Proton Density Fat Saturation  which contributed to the value at 4,50. There was an increase in signals that lead to ACL and PCL appear to be more hyper-intens compared to sorrounding organs in general, except the border line  of PCL.  By this means, it was useful for evaluating the patient whose particularly with ACL post-grafting.Conclusion: There was the difference in anatomical information between T2WI FSE sequence and Proton Density Fat Saturation on MRI knee jointwith sagital slices for ACL and PCL studies.  T2WI FSE sequence was the best method for showing anatomical information of ACL and PCL, although a relative low signal still occured from border line  of PCL.

Background: Time Repetition (TR) is one of the main parameters of Inversion Recovery. The purpose of this study to determine differences in anatomical MRI information on the variation of the knee joint TR sequences STIR Sagittal slices. Method: Type of research is experimental. The study was conducted with MRI 1.5 Tesla. Data in the form of 42 image sequences STIR MRI knee joint with TR 3500,  4000, 4500, 5000, 5500, 6000, and 6500 ms. Anatomical assessments on the anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, articular cartilage, and meniscus were performed by a radiologist. Data analyzed by Friedman and Wilcoxon test. Result: The results showed that there were differences in the MRI anatomical information of the knee joint of the STIR sagitas slice in the TR variation with p-value < 0.001. There is a difference in anatomical information between TR 5000 and 6000 ms (p-value = 0.034), TR 5000 and 6500 ms (p-value = 0.024), TR 5500 and 6500 ms (p-value = 0.038). There is no difference in anatomical information between TR 4500 and 5000 ms (p-value  = 0.395), TR 4500 and 5500 ms (p-value = 0.131), TR 4500 and 6000 ms (p-value = 0.078), TR 4500 and 6500 ms (p-value = 0.066), TR 5000 and 5500 ms (p-value = 0.414), TR 5500 and 6000 ms (p-value = 0.102),  TR 6000 and 6500 ms (p-value = 0.083). Conclusion: The optimal value to produce anatomical information of the knee joint sagittal MRI sequences STIR is TR 4500 ms.

Summary Aim: Multiple procedures for the quantification of activity leakage in radiation synovectomy of the knee joint have been described in the literature. We compared these procedures considering the real conditions of dispersion and absorption using a corpse phantom. Methods: We simulated different distributions of the activity in the knee joint and a different extra-articular spread into the inguinal lymph nodes. The activity was measured with a gammacamera. Activity leakage was calculated by measuring the retention in the knee joint only using an anterior view, using the geometric mean of anterior and posterior views, or using the sum of anterior and posterior views. The same procedures were used to quantify the activity leakage by measuring the activity spread into the inguinal lymph nodes. In addition, the influence of scattered rays was evaluated. Results: For several procedures we found an excellent association with the real activity leakage, shown by an r² between 0.97 and 0.98. When the real value of the leakage is needed, e. g. in dosimetric studies, simultaneously measuring of knee activity and activity in the inguinal lymph nodes in anterior and posterior views and calculation of the geometric mean with exclusion of the scatter rays was found to be the procedure of choice. Conclusion: When measuring of activity leakage is used for dosimetric calculations, the above-described procedure should be used. When the real value of the leakage is not necessary, e. g. for comparing different therapeutic modalities, several of the procedures can be considered as being equivalent.

SummaryTotal removal of a knee joint meniscus is followed by osteoarthritis in many mammalian species. Altered load-bearing has been observed in the human knee following meniscectomy but less is known about biochemical effects of meniscectomy in other species. Using pressure sensitive paper in sheep knee (stifle) joints it was found that, for comparable loads, the load-bearing area on the medial tibial condyle was significantly reduced following medial meniscectomy. Also, for loads of between 50 N and 500 N applied to the whole joint, the slope of the regression of contact area against load was much smaller. Following medial meniscectomy, the ability to increase contact area as load increased was markedly reduced.The load bearing area on the medial tibial condyle was reduced following meniscectomy.
