   Introduction
 
Magnetic resonance imaging is an excellent modality for visualizing pathological processes of the knee joint. It allows high-resolution imaging not only of the osseous structures of the knee but, more importantly, also of the soft-tissue structures, including the menisci and ligamentous structures, in multiple orthogonal planes. There are multiple imaging techniques and pulse sequences for magnetic resonance imaging of the knee. The purposes of this report are to update orthopaedic surgeons on the applications of and indications for magnetic resonance imaging of the knee, define the normal anatomy of the knee as seen on magnetic resonance imaging, and illustrate the spectrum of disease detectable by magnetic resonance imaging.


   Educational Objectives
 
After reviewing this article, the reader should (1) have a basic understanding of the physics, pulse sequences, and terminology of magnetic resonance imaging; (2) be able to systematically evaluate a complete magnetic resonance imaging examination of the knee and know the features . . .
