Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzheela Kelmn / F / 29 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzhire / Dr. Abc Xyzar.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Right Knee Joint.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O right knee joint pain with pain on movement and clicking.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the right knee joint was performed using the following parameters :

4 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and GRASS sagittal images.

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and GRASS axial images.

OBSERVATION :

Menisci :

There is a linear hyperintense signal on all the pulse sequences within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. This does not reach upto the articular surface and would represent Grade II meniscal signal (degenerative changes).

The anterior and posterior horns of the lateral meniscus and anterior horn of the medial meniscus reveal normal configuration and signal characteristics.

Cruciate Ligaments :

The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments show normal contour and signal characteristics.

Collateral Ligaments and the Patellar Tendon :

The medial and lateral collateral ligaments and the patellar tendon are normal.

Hoffas Fat Pad :

The Hoffas fat pad is normal.

Articular cartilage and bones :

There is a small knee joint effusion with probable synovial thickening. Also seen is a small outpouching of fluid between the heads of the gastrocnemius muscle.

Small, marginal osteophytes are noted around the tibio-femoral joint.

The articular cartilage overlying the patella, tibia and femur appears normal.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of :

1. Grade II meniscal signal within the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.

2. A small right knee joint effusion with probable synovial thickening.

3. Small, marginal osteophytes around the tibio-femoral joint.
