MRI Images

There's about 60 images per section and here are the most interesting ones:

ACL / PCL images

The thick black line from the front of the femur (top bone) to the back of the shin bone is my PCL. Normal PCL's are all black whereas mine has some lighter parts to it, hence the "partial tear".

There should be a similar thick black line going from the front of the shin bone to the back of the femur. It crosses over the PCL. The lack of black line = busticated ACL.

Also, the bright white stuff is fluid (blood) that shouldn't be there.

Meniscus:

The black sideways triangles in the middle are the meniscus. This is the medial meniscus which appears normal.


This is the lateral meniscus where there is no triangle on the right, and the left one is messed up.
