Possibilites of CT-artrography in knee joint trauma
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is the dominant imaging technique for evaluating internal derangements of the knee. Developments in spiral computed tomographic (CT) technology with multi-detector arrays that enable submillimeter spatial resolution raised the question of the potential use of multi-detector spiral CT scanning after intraarticular injection of iodinated contrast material for the assessment of meniscal and ligamentous lesions. The purpose of this article is to determine the role of CT arthrography in patients with knee joint trauma.
