1) To outline anatomic and pathophysiologic principles that guide accurate analysis of imaging studies of the knee, with emphasis on internal derangements. 2) To illustrate several disease processes in which imaging techniques are essential to accurate diagnosis. 3) To summarize major teaching points and differential diagnostic considerations for the cases used to illustrate disease processes.
In the analysis of many disease processes that affect the knee, imaging techniques provide clues to accurate diagnosis. In this presentation, several representative cases will be used to illustrate this point, emphasizing both conventional and advanced methods. The importance o an understanding of the disease process itself and its pathogenesis, along with regional anatomy, will form the foundation for proper interpretation of the imaging findings.
