High resolution MR imaging of peripheral joints using a quadrature coil at 0.35 T
Abstract:
The utility of a specially dedicated quadrature detection (QD) mode limb coil for the MR evaluation of peripheral joints has been evaluated. High resolution images of the knee, elbow, wrist and ankle provided excellent anatomical delineation of the cortical and medullary bone, cartilage, ligaments and menisci over a homogeneous field of view. Pathological conditions including meniscal injury, fracture and osteonecrosis were accurately detected. The QD limb coil can be advantageously used for the MR evaluation of peripheral joints at an intermediate field strength.
