ROLE OF MRI FOR DIAGNOSING DIFFERENT KNEE PATHOLOGIES

BACKGROUND: MRI is basically non invasive imaging technology which gives us three dimensional anatomical images MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) provides us detailed images of body soft tissues. It is used for the detection of disease, diagnosis and monitoring treatment. There are different types of MRI of body some are plane MRI and some are contrast MRI according to requirement of Doctor or other Medical Health Profession the scan is performed for Patient. The MRI machine is of different tesla. OBJECTIVE: The main role of MRI for diagnosing different knee pathologies METHODOLGY: An Observational study was conducted at Radiology department at Gujrat Hospital (MRI unit) during the period of October 2020 to December 2020. Forty patients (40 knee) were examined out of which 27 where male and 13 were female and their age ranging from (25-70). RESULT: The main purpose of this study is to determine the diagnostic value of MRI for diagnosing the presence or absence of Knee pathologies. In this study MRI was performed on 40 patients with different complaints. In this study the knee pathologies were diagnosis in different age groups. CONCLUSION: All in all, the current examination upholds that MRI is exceptionally useful in diagnosing different knee pathologies e.g. joint effusion, posterior cruciating ligament, Anterior Cruciating ligament, Baker’s Cyst etc. Regardless, what one should consistently have as a main priority is that determination alone isn't the end point of the treatment and doesn't take care of the issue.
