   Introduction
 
In the athletic population, reproducible imaging of cartilage damage is vital for treatment considerations. With appropriate pulse sequencing, magnetic resonance imaging has been shown to be an accurate noninvasive method for the evaluation of articular cartilage injuries and for evaluating postoperative changes following chondral repair. In addition, magnetic resonance imaging does not utilize ionizing radiation, has direct multiplanar capabilities, and allows high-resolution imaging of soft-tissue structures. The purposes of the present review are to update orthopaedic surgeons on the applications and techniques for magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage in the athletic population, to define the normal magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of articular cartilage, to illustrate the spectrum of articular cartilage lesions that are detectable with magnetic resonance imaging, and to review normal and abnormal magnetic resonance imaging findings following cartilage repair.


   Educational Objectives
 
After reviewing this article, the reader should (1) have a basic understanding of pulse sequences and terminology for cartilage-sensitive . . . [Full Text of this Article]
