 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 MRI diagnosis of meniscus injury [Abstract] At present, MRI has been widely used in the knee joint inspection of the joint disease are high sensitivity and specificity, is considered to be non-invasive evaluation of the knee of an effective inspection. With the magnetic field strength, gradient field and coil design of the development, research and development of new pulse sequences provide the basis for magnetic resonance examination of the knee from the simple to the metabolic imaging of morphological and ultrastructural picture image change. This article reviews the performance of magnetic resonance meniscus . [Keywords:] MRI (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI; meniscus; knee Since 1985, Reicher et al [1] MRI has been used for the diagnosis of disease of the knee, creating a revolutionary era of diagnostic imaging, the diagnosis of disorders of the knee has developed greatly. Because of its good soft tissue resolution in bone and joint applications more and more attention. Different magnetic field strength of the magnet, open or closed type of magnets, different pulse sequences, including T1WI, T2WI, proton density-weighted, spin echo (spin-echo, fast spin-echo (fast spin-echo, gradient echo ( gradient-echo, etc., of different thickness options, all of these conditions and parameters on the accuracy of MRI images has important implications. As the magnetic field strength MRI, gradient coil design strength and the development of new pulse sequences of continuous application, check on the knee, it has moved from traditional morphological image to image changes in metabolic imaging and AMD. This article reviews a half months plate injury of the magnetic resonance. A meniscus Meniscus is fibrous cartilage, articular cartilage has a protective effect and increase joint stability, easily lead to the knee after meniscus degeneration. With increasing magnetic field strength, magnetic resonanc
