2 Learning objectives 1. Illustrate the role of 3TMR in imaging of meniscal tears. 2. Describe the imaging findings in different types of meniscal tears including pertinent meniscal anatomy and meniscal variants. 3. Identify potential diagnostic pitfalls. Background MR has a well established role in the diagnosis of meniscal pathology. 3T MR systems are now increasingly used in clinical practice. The higher signal to ratio afforded by 3T imaging increases the speed and enhances spatial and contrast resolution. Images for this section: Page 2 of 29

6 Imaging findings OR Procedure details Technique: A standard protocol typically includes a short TE sequence (T1 or PD). Proton density or T2 weighted fat saturated sequences are also routinely performed in axial, sagittal and coronal imaging planes. Three-tesla MR imaging allows for a higher SNR compared with 1.5T MR imaging. The spin-spin relaxation time, T2, remains fairly constant at different field strengths. However, the spin-lattice relaxation time, T1, increases as the field strength increases. Therefore, at 3T, the TR must be longer than on 1.5T MR scanners to maximize the SNR gain. Also on 3T MR scanners, the TE must be slightly shorter than on 1.5T MR scanners to account for decreased T2 relaxation time [1,2]. Artifacts: Chemical shift artifact and susceptibility artifacts tend to be more pronounced at 3T. Specific absorption rate also increases with increase in magnet strength. Anatomy: The menisci are wedge-shaped, fibrocartilaginous structures interposed between the articular surfaces of distal femur and proximal tibia. The menisci have a concave superior surface and a flat inferior surface. They cover 50% of the medial and 70% of the lateral surface of the tibial plateau [3]. Each meniscus is divided arbitrarily into an anterior horn, a body and a posterior horn. The medial meniscus is semilunar and bigger than the more circular shaped lateral meniscus. In adults, the vascularized area, commonly known as the ''red zone,'' involves the outer 10% to 30% of the meniscus [3,4]. Page 6 of 29
7 The transverse or anterior intermeniscal ligament, connects the two anterior horns [5]. The meniscofemoral ligaments extend from the posterior horn of lateral meniscus usually to the lateral aspect of the posterior medial femoral condyle. The popliteomeniscal fascicles are synovial attachments of the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus that extend around the popliteus bursa. The normal meniscus is low signal on all pulse sequences. Non surfacing intrasubstance signal is often seen representing meniscal degeneration. In the child or young adult this is thought to represent prominant or persistent meniscal vascularity. Meniscal variants: Common variants include the discoid meniscus, meniscal ossicles and the meniscal flounce. Tear classification: The diagnostic criteria for a meniscal tear in a knee without prior meniscal surgery is either an area of abnormal signal within the meniscus on at least one image that extends to the meniscal articular surface or abnormal morphology of the meniscus [6]. A tear should be described in terms of its location, plane, shape, completeness and length. The location is further described as involvment of the peripheral vascular or red zone (outer third)or inner avascular white zone (inner two third). The plane of the tear is described as vertical, horizontal or oblique. A vertical tear can be longitudinal (parallel to the long axis of meniscus) or radial (perpenedicular to it). A complex tear has both vertical and horizontal tear components, while a parrot beak tear has both a radial and a longitudinal component. A bucket handle tear refers to a specific type of longitudinal tear where the inner fragment is displaced into the intercondylar notch or anterior compartment. Page 7 of 29
8 A flap tear is a short-segment, horizontal meniscal tear with fragments either displaced into the notch or into the superior or inferior gutters. Lastly a root tear occurs at the tibial attachment of the meniscus. It has been described only posteriorly and is often associated with meniscal extrusion [7]. Meniscal Pitfalls: Potential sources of error include tears not visible on MR, those missed by the arthroscopist and those wrongly interpreted by the reporting radiologist. False positives occur with healed meniscal tears and postoperative menisci, where abnormal signal extending to the surface remains on standard MR imaging sequences. Magic angle phenomenon on short TE sequences occuring in the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus because of the central upsloping of the meniscus is also a potential source of error [8]. Abnormal signal having a speckled or spotty appearance on T1 and proton density images can occur in the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus near the central attachment on the most central sagittal images [9]. The normal concavity of the peripheral aspect of the meniscus can mimic a horizontal tear on peripheral sagittal images caused by volumeaveraging. Chondrocalcinosis may demonstrate high signal within the meninscus. Finally the transverse intermeniscal ligament, the meniscal attachments of the meniscofemoral ligaments, the popliteus tendon adjacent to the posterior horn of the lateral meniscus, the medial and lateral oblique meniscomeniscal ligaments and the anterior meniscofemoral ligament of the medial meniscus can all simulate tears. However, following these structures on serial images and evaluating the meniscus in multiple imaging planes can often help prevent these errors. Page 8 of 29
9 Tears involving the meniscal free edge and small meniscal tears are the usual cause of false negatives on MR imaging. Page 9 of 29

27 Conclusion MR imaging of the knee at 3T is sensitive and specific for detecting meniscal tears. The enhanced signal to noise ratio increases spatial and contrast resolution and allow faster and more accurate diagnosis of menical tears. This paper reviews the basic techniques, anatomy and imaging findings of meniscal tears on 3TMR.
