Results of MRI on Knee


 

MRI of knee showing torn ACL ligament

 

 

Normal ACl ligament on MRI


Instructor's Notes:  The ACl ligament can be seen between the femur and tibia bones of the leg.  In the normal scan, it appears as a dark black filament intersecting the two bones.  Note the apparent abscence of the ligament on the abnormal MRI scan.
