Abstract
A prospective study of delayed sequences after intravenous injection o f gadolinium for knee MRI shows the similar results as from the litera ture: enhancement of synovial fluid after 30 minutes. Sixteen patients were studied mainly with gradient echo. This phenomenon improves the visualisation of the intraarticular structures like meniscus, cruciate ligaments, or cartilage. This study leads to use this technique in ca se of difficulties like postoperative intraarticular lesions.
