MRI images





Here are two images from my MRI readings. The Green arrow points to a healthy segment of meniscus which should appear like a dark solid triangle with no interuptions. The Red arrow points to the tear in my meniscus - showing a dark triangle with a light band running through it. The light band is a bit of fluid that has permeated the tear - thereby making it clear on the MRI.

The entire MRI series can be seen here.

Well those pictures of your torn meniscus were very informative. I, myself have had three Arthroscopic LT knee surgeries. I am farely young and in need of a total knee replacemet, after looking over your MRI I got a better since of exactaly what kind of shape my own knee is really in. I did compare some MRI results side by side to gain a greater understanding of what the knee is suppose to look like. So anyway you help a total stranger today thank you for posting those images.
