View larger version (121K): [in this window] [in a new window] [as a PowerPoint slide]   Fig. 1 —62-year-old woman with knee pain. Coronal T2-weighted fat-suppressed fast spin-echo MR image (TR/TE, 4,000/60) shows parameniscal cyst (arrow) associated with lateral meniscal tear and nonlinear subchondral marrow edema (arrowhead) associated with medial meniscal tear at arthroscopy.

Coronal T2-weighted fast spin-echo fat-suppressed MR image (TR/TE, 4,000/60) shows edema around medial collateral ligament (arrows) and nonlinear subchondral marrow edema of medial tibial plateau (arrowhead).

View larger version (80K): [in this window] [in a new window] [as a PowerPoint slide]   Fig. 3 —56-year-old man with extruded medial meniscus and bowing of medial collateral ligament (arrow). Coronal T2-weighted fast spin-echo fat-suppressed MR image (TR/TE, 4,000/60) shows nonlinear subchondral marrow edema (arrowhead) in medial tibial plateau extending to articular surface.

View larger version (163K): [in this window] [in a new window] [as a PowerPoint slide]   Fig. 4 —48-year-old woman with torn posterior horn of medial meniscus. Sagittal T2-weighted fat-suppressed fast spin-echo MR image (TR/TE, 4,000/60) shows linear area of increased T2 signal intensity (arrowheads) parallel and immediately abutting tibial cortex.

View larger version (125K): [in this window] [in a new window] [as a PowerPoint slide]   Fig. 5A —48-year-old man with arthroscopic finding of medial meniscal tear. Coronal T2-weighted fat-suppressed fast spin-echo (TR/TE, 4,000/60) MR image shows ill-defined marrow edema (arrows) that does not extend to articular surface and surrounds vascular channel of medial femoral condyle and tibial plateau, consistent with reactive perivascular edema.

View larger version (110K): [in this window] [in a new window] [as a PowerPoint slide]   Fig. 5B —48-year-old man with arthroscopic finding of medial meniscal tear. Coronal T2-weighted fat-suppressed fast spin-echo MR image (TR/TE, 4,000/60) shows nonlinear marrow edema in medial femoral condyle and medial tibial plateau. Subchondral marrow edema is present in medial femoral condyle (arrow). Ill-defined marrow edema around vascular channels of medial femoral condyle and medial tibial plateau is consistent with perivascular edema (arrowheads).

View larger version (141K): [in this window] [in a new window] [as a PowerPoint slide]   Fig. 6 —52-year-old man with meniscal tear. Coronal T2-weighted fast spin-echo MR image (TR/TE, 4,000/60) shows focal fluid-filled defect of femoral and tibial cartilage (arrows).
