Meniscal tears: pathologic correlation with MR imaging
Radiology.
1987 Jun.
Abstract
Menisci from 12 autopsies and above-knee amputations were imaged with magnetic resonance (MR) at 1.5 T and then sectioned for gross and histologic examination. A histologic staging system was developed and showed a one-to-one correlation with corresponding grades of MR signal intensities. Histologic stages 1 and 2 represented a continuum of degeneration culminating in stage 3 fibrocartilaginous tears, seen most frequently in posterior-horn segments of the medial meniscus. Correlation of histologic stages with MR signal intensity allows for an improved diagnostic reading of MR images.
