Abstract

Objective To compare the diagnostic value via imaging quality of the articular cartilage of knee with the 3D-SPACE, 3D-True FISP sequences. Methods Before treated by arthroscope in the next week., 43 patients of knee joint were examined with 3D-SPACE and 3D-True FISP sequences at 1.5T MRI .Lesion visualization of articular cartilage were compared. Results 3D-SPACE comparing with 3D-True FISP not only finding more numbers of cartilage injury, but also having significant difference between the cartilage injury at level Ⅰ and level Ⅱ(P<0.05). Conclusions Compared with the 3D-True FISP sequence 3D-SPACE sequence can show the knee cartilage injury better.
