Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzka lmn / F / 17 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzesai.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Right Knee Joint.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O pain in the right knee since 1 year.

EXAMINATION :

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

4 mm thick GRASS axial images.

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.

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

OBSERVATION :

Menisci

The anterior and posterior horns of the lateral and medial menisci 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 :

A well circumscribed hypointensity on all the pulse sequences is noted within the lateral femoral condyle in the subchondral region. It may represent an area of sclerosis (scans 104.12, 102.7, 103.7).

A small effusion is noted within the right knee joint.

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

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of :

1. A small effusion within the right knee joint.

2. A well circumscribed area of altered signal intensity within the lateral femoral condyle in the subchondral region may represent an area of sclerosis.
