I am trying to get better at reading knee MRI's. I would like to know which protocols are best for evaluating meniscii, collaterals,cartilage, cruciates, bone marrow signals. Please advise.
Well as technologists we don't read images. To ensure that you are doing the proper scans, you need to check with the rads that are actually reading the images. I would call and find out which protocols you need to do from them.
You can do a PD sagittal and/or T1 coronal. These two would give you meniscii tears, just magnify them and brighten the image to show the tear. You can also try the T2 STIR coronal to show some swelling and bone contusion. Check with your rad to find out proper protocols.
