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 T2 Weighted coronal images.

4 mm thick GRASS axial images.

OBSERVATION :

Menisci

There is a hyperintense signal in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus reaching upto the inferior articular surface and represents Grade III meniscal signal (meniscal tear).

Linear hyperintense signal is seen in the anterior horn of the medial meniscus and the anterior and posterior horns of the lateral meniscus not reaching upto the articular surface and would represent Grade II meniscal signal (meniscal degeneration).
