Evaluation Studies of Low-Field MRI and Arthroscopy Imaging in Diagnosis of Meniscus Tears

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of low-field MRI in the diagnosis of meniscus tears.Methods We collected the clinical data of 69 patients with knee joint injuries confirmed by surgical operation or arthroscopy from Septembe 2009 to April 2010.Among them,35 patients had 41 cases of meniscus tears.We retrospectively analyzed their clinical symptoms,and their manifestations on low-field MRI and arthroscopy.According to the modified diagnostic criteria based on Reicher’s diagnosis,the grade and the shape of meniscus tears were determined and recorded,and other accompanying signs inside the joint were also analyzed statistically.Results Among the 41 cases of meniscus tears of 35 patients,17 were discoid meniscus.MRI showed that there were 24 signals of Ⅲa tears,5 of Ⅲb tears,4 of Ⅲc tears,1 of Ⅳ tears and 7 of bucket-handle tears.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of low-field MRI in the diagnosis of meniscus tears were 93.18%,92.11%,and 92.68%,respectively.Conclusions There is no significant difference between the results of arthroscopy and low-field MRI in diagnosing meniscus tears.Consequently,MRI is a reliable and non-invasive method in the diagnosis of meniscus tears.
