1. Review the technical adjustments necessary to perform, in the knee, functional sequences such as DWI, DCE-MRI, DWI and DTI-based neurography, multiecho TSE T2-weighted sequence for T2 mapping of the cartilage, 3D and 4D angiography and MR lymphography. 2. Analyze the impact of all these new techniques in the evaluation of normal structures and pathological conditions.  

CONTENT ORGANIZATION 1. Introduction 2. Technical basis and adjustments of advanced MRI sequences a. DWI b. DCE-MRI c. MR neurography: STIR, DWI and DTI d. MRI angiography: 3D, 4D e. MRI lymphography 3. Clinical applications a. Bone and soft tissue tumors b. Cartilage quantification c. Vascular disease (venous, arterial and lymphatic) d. Nerve pathology (tumoral and non-tumoral) SUMMARY Functional MRI permits to obtain quantifiable information in several clinical scenarios in the knee
