Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2015, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to review the common MRI signs of musculoskeletal pathology. In this article, 15 classic MRI signs used in musculoskeletal radiology are presented and described. These signs include the anterior drawer sign, bone bruise sign, bow tie sign, celery stalk anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), cyclops lesion, deep lateral femoral notch sign, double line sign, double Oreo cookie sign, double posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) sign, fat-blood interface (FBI) sign, fragment in notch sign, split fat sign, T-sign, target sign, and yo-yo on a string sign. It is important to recognize common signs in musculoskeletal MRI and understand the underlying pathologies for accurate image interpretation.
