Materials and Methods: Sixty-three knees in 61 patients were imaged on the 1. 5T MR system. Wecompared 30FTGRASStechniquewith 20spin echo(se) technique in terms of conspicuousness of the lesions of internal knee structures based on the results of arthroscopy or open surgery. As a SE technique, sagittal T1- and T2-weighted, and coronal fat-suppressed T2-weighted sequences were performed. Sixty contiguous axial scans with 0.7 or 1 mm section thickness were performed using 30 GRASS technique, and we also evaluated arbitrarily reformatted images produced from the original axial voxel images. Results: For the depiction of the tear, 30FT GRASS was superior to 20 SE in three cases of medial meniscus, one of lateral meniscus, and two of anterior cruciate ligament. Specificity of 30 GRASS was also higher than that of 20 SE in evaluation of lateral meniscus and anterior cruiciate ligament. There was no significant difference in MR diagnosis fortears ofthe posterior cruciate, medial collateral, and lateral collateralligaments. 30 GRASS wassuperior in evaluating the extent and morphology of the torn menisci. Conclusion: The 30FT GRASS technique was comparable or even superior to the 20 SE technique in the evaluation of the internal structure of the knee, and can be expected to supplement standard MR knee techniques, especially in complicated casesof meniscal or ligamentoustears.

The imaging technique is diverse. Two -dimensional(20) Fourier transform(ft) spin echo (SE) sequences in sagittal and coronal planes have been most commonly used as a standard technique of 'Department ofradiology, Kangbuk Samsung Hosp ital 2D epartm en t 이 O rth o p e di c Surgery, Kangbuk Samsung Hospital Received November 6,1995 ; Accepted March 19,1996 Address reprint requ ests to: Dong Joo Kim, M.D., Department of Radiology, Kangbuk Samsung Hospital,! 108 Pyeong-dong, Chongro-gu, Seo ul, Korea. Tel Fax MR knee imaging, and a three- dimensional(30) FT gradient- echo sequence has also been proposed for that purpose (1-6). Advantages of the 30 over the 20 technique include an improved signal -to - noise ratio and spatial resolution for a given slice thickness ; truly contiguous and thi n slices ; and the abil ity to obtai n isotropic voxels, enabl ing data reconstruction in any plane (1, 2, 5). Prolonged scanning time, the major disadvantage of the 30 technique can in practice be reduced to an acceptable level by using it in conjunction with the gradient- echo technique. The purpose of this study was to determine whether 30FT gradient- echo imaging is accu rate in evaluating the internal structures of the knee and to compare the results ofthis with those ofthe 20FT SE technique
2 Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1996 ; 34( 4) MATERIALS and METHODS MR images were obtained of 63 knees in 61 patients referred for suspected internal derangement of the knee. These 61 patients consisted of 45 men and 16 women, aged between 13 and 62 years (mean : 35). The two authors prospectively interpreted these MR images without knowledge of the surgical results. AII the patients had undergone arthroscopic or open surgery and the results used as gold standards in this report were as shown in Table 1. With regard to tears of the medial or lateral collateralligaments which are not accessible to evaluation by arthroscopy and usually need no operative management, we simply compared Table 1.

MR imaging was performed with a 1.5T MR imager (Signa ; GE Medical System, Milwaukee, USA). A dedicated transmit-receive extremity coil was used in all cases. The patients were positioned supine on the magnet with their knees extended naturally. After obtaining axial T1 - weighted SE images (TRITE=500/1 0) for orientation, sagittal T1 - (TR/TE=600/15) and T2 weighted (TR/TE=2500/15, 60) SE sequences and coronal T2 - weighted (TR/TE=2500/20, 60) SE sequences with fat suppression were performed. For the fat suppressed image, we used chemical shifting selective imaging technique. The other scan parameters for these SE images were as follows : 256 X 192 matrix, one excitation, 14-16cm field ofview, and 3mm slice thickness with interslice gap of 1 mm. Gradient refocused aquisition in steady state (GRASS) is the version of the limited - flip - angle, gradient- refocused pulse sequence available on our imager. By using a 30FTtechnique, 60 contiguous axial GRASS images (TRITE/flip angle=50/14/20 0 ) were obtained with a section thickness of 0.7 mm or 1 mm, a matrix size of 256 X 192, a field of view of 14 to 16 cm, and one excitation. The actual scanning time was 7 Table 2. 30FT GRASS * vs 20FT SE **: Medial Meniscus n=63(no. of surgical results) MR sequence 30FTGRASS 20FTSE Negative (36) true( - )lfalse( +) Positive (27) true( + )/false( -) 34 / 2 26 / 1 34 / 2 23 / 4 * 3-dimensional Fourier transform gradient refocused acquisition in steady state **2-dimensional Fourier transform spin-echo Sensitivity Specificity Table 3. 30FT GRASS vs 20FT SE: Lateral Meniscus n=63(no. of surgical results) MR sequence Negative (44) true( - )/false( +) Positive (19) true( + ) / false( -) Sensitivity Specificity 30FTGRASS 20FTSE 43 / 1 18 / 1 42 / 2 17 / Fig. 1. a.

After reviewing the original axial images, reformatted images in arbitrary planes different from case to case were also evaluated at the workstation, and this took between 3 and 10 minutes. MR diagnosis of a meniscal tear was based on the criteria published by Reicher et al (7) and Stoller et al (8). The meniscus was considered torn if a bright line extended to the articular surface or inner or outer edge, or if the meniscus was deformed. The ligament was diagnosed as torn based only on the primary sign of the ligament itself such as a discontinuity with gap, nonvisualization of the normal ligament, or significant sweliing with highly increased signal intensity. 80th SE and 30FT GRASS images were separately reviewed and the results were compared with surgical findings. RESULTS Of the 126 menisci, 46 (27 medial and 19 lateral) had tears and 80 were normal in surgery. Forty (23 medial and 17 lateral) meniscal tears and 76 normal menisci were correctly diagnosed on 20 SE images. Six results were false negative (tour medial and two lateral meniscil, and four were false positive (two medial and two lateral meniscil. Calculated sensitivity and specificity are presented in Tables 2 and 3. 30FT GRASS imaging correctly demonstrated 44 (26 medial and 181ateral menisci) of the 46 tears (Fig. 1, 2) and 77 (34 medial and 431ateral) of 80 normal menisci. Three results (two medial and one lateral meniscil were false negative and two (one medial and one lateral meniscus) were false positive. The sensitivity and specificity ofthe 30FT GRASS technique are presented in Table 2 and 3. Oiagnosis of the small radial tear could be facilitated by the original thin - section axial images of the 30FT GRASS technique. Meticulous reexamination of cases which resulted false negative by both techniques failed to reveal the tears shown by arthroscopy to be small tears extending to the inferior articular surfaces. In some cases, 3D axial images were better than 20 sagittal or coronal images in evaluating the extent of a tear and the relationship between the torn menisci and the fragments (Fig. 1, 2) For the diagnosis of a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), 30FT GRASS technique was superior to 20 SE in three cases (Fig. 3, 4). 20 SE images gave Fig. 2. a, b.

4 Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1996; 34(4) : rise to two false positive and two false negative results, and 30 GRASS resulted in one false positive and no false negative results (Table 4). There was no difference in accuracy of diagnosis of tears of the posterior cruciate I igament, and using either technique, diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 80% and 100%, respectively. Nor were we able to find any difference between the two techniques in the results of evaluation of medial and lateral collateral ligaments (Fig. 5). Axial images of the patellofemoral joint offered by the 30 technique facilitated the detection of chondromalacia patella. The ability to reformat the original voxel images into well - resolved images in any plane disclosed in one case a small osteochondral fracture and displaced fragment which routine 20 SE images failed to depict clearly (Fig. 6) DISCUSSION MR imaging has become a useful tool for imaging the knee joint, and several studies have proved MR to be highly accurate in delineating meniscal and ligamentous tears (9-15). These studies have used the 20 technique mostly with sagittal and coronal SE sequences, but the conventional MR technique has certain limitations. Small tears on the free edge of the meniscus, tears perpendicular to the meniscus, or tears of the nonorthogonal structure such as ACL might not be identified. The very thin, contiguous sections of volume MR imaging offer major advantages over their 20 counterparts (1, 4, 5) ; (1) while 20FT p 비 se sequences may Table 4. 30FT GRASS vs 20FT SE: Anterior Cruciate Ligament n= 63 (No. of surgical results) MR sequence 30FTGRASS 20FTSE Negative (53) true( - )/false( +) Positive (1 이 true( +)/false(-) Sensitivity Specificity 52 / / Fig. 3.

5 Dong Joo Kim, et al: MR Imaging of the Knee be bothered by cross -talk from adjacent slices, 30FT sequences excite an enti re vol ume of tissue and obtain tr 비 y contiguous slices with resultant minimal volume averaging and no lost pathologic areas in section gaps (2) The signal -to- noise ratio of 30FT GRASS image is greater than that of 20FT GRASS or SE image of comparable thickness, this allows the 30 technique to obtain thinner slices and better in - plane resolution. (3). Because of the small voxel size, image reformation in any orthogonal and nonorthogonal planes is possible without additional scanning time or repositioning ofthe patient. In addition, the excessively prolonged scanning time which is the main disadvantage of the 30 volume technique could be compensated by coupling with gradient-echo sequence. With these, image acquisition times in the order of a second or subsecond are now common, and numerous imaging sequences, including GRASS, based on gradient-echoes have been developed. In GRASS images, short TRs (ie. TR( (12) with appropriately large flip angles produce the signal Fig. 5. The MCL tear from the femoral insertion site is easily diagnosed on both SE coronal (a) and 3D reformated (b) images. The bone bruise rev ealed as reticular hyperintensities in the lateral femoral condyle is obvious only on fat-suppressed SE T2WI(a) contrast related to T2, causing joint effusion to become bright in contrast to hypointense menisci and ligaments (16). The axial 30FT GRASS technique provides images of the menisci just as they are, and these axial plane images are similar to the views seen by the arthroscopic surgeon (2). In this study, axial 30FT GRASS effectively identified meniscal tears and proved its superiority to the 20 SE technique in detecting small radial or peripheral tears. Both the axial imaging plane and the thinner slice thickness with resultant diminution ir) volume - averaging may have been responsible for this. The extent and relationship between torn menisci and fragments were often better delineated on axial than on coronal and sagittal images. In the axial plane, fragments were usually displaced and horizontal tears parallel to the imaging plane or nonperipheral tears involving the superior or inferior aspects of the menisci may be difficult to detect. We found no such case, however, and the reformatted images into sagita b a b c Fig. 6. a. 3D reformatted image shows osteochondral defect (white arrows) and anteriorly displaced fragment (black arrowhead) b, c. Retrograde reevaluation of coronal (b) and sagittal (c) SE images may be suggeting the detached fragments as an ovoid low signal intensity (arrows), however, the osteochondral defect area is skipped. m x
6 Journal of the Korean Radiological Society 1996: 34(4) : tal or coronal planes might compensate for these possible shortcomings. With a sensitivity of 1 00% and a specificity of 98.1 %, the 3D protocol was accurate in the evaluation of the ACL ; this might be because of good resolution of reconstructed images in any arbitrary planes from original thin contiguous axial slices. ACL is a complicated structure of the knee, thinner than other knee ligaments and with a nonorthogonal orientation. On SE imaging, particularly with thicker slices, slight rotational changes in positioning or the presence of an effusion may substantially affect the visibility of the ligament (14). Because it is able to produce high-resolution reformatted images in any 이 ane, the 3D volume technique offers advantages in the evaluation of a nonorthogonal structure such as ACL. With regard to other ligamentous tears and other cartilaginous or osteochondral lesions, detectabilities of both techniques were same, even though 3D reformatted images tended to disclose more clearly subtle changes such as a small osteochondral fracture with anteriorly displaced fragment (Fig. 6). Because of the limited number of cases, we are unable to reach any conclusion concerning the reliability of 30FT GRASS in diagnosing lesions of the articular cartilage. The in-plane resolution of gradient- echo sequence has been known to be insufficientto consistently evaluate low- grade (grade 0 and 1) lesions correctly, even though it can separate cartilage from adjacent tissues and clearly depict high - grade lesions (4, 17, 18). Bone marrow abnormality was not evaluated. Trabecular bone imaged by 3D GRASS was lower in signal intensity and appeared coarser than that imaged by SE technique, probably due to the effect of increased magnetic susceptibility (4); gradient- echo images were less sensitive than fat - suppressed SE images in their depiction of bone bruise (Fig. 5) In summary, a 30FT GRASS sequence revealed itself at least comparable to a conventional SE sequence in the eval uation of internal structu res of the knee joi nt. It offered su perior sensitivity and specificity i n diagnosing tears of menisci and of ACL, and took only about 7.5 or 10 minutes for scanning and an additional several minutes for image reformation; this might not be a problem with regard to patient throughput. We therefore concluded that a 30FT GRASS sequence can be expected to supplement the standard techniques of MR knee i REFERENCES 1. Araki Y, Ootani F, Tsukaguchi 1, et al.
