چکیده
In relation to your comment, I fully agree that the routine use of magnetic resonance imaging in the study of anterior knee pain can increase the expenditure of healthcare systems. Nevertheless, the article does not aim to establish the use of magnetic resonance imaging as a dogma or guideline; rather, the intention is to assess the usefulness of this test in the diagnosis of patellar malalignment.

Patellar malalignment: a new method on knee MRI
PURPOSE The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFLL)/lateral patellar retinaculum (LPR) ratio were assessed in knees as a means to detect patellar malalignment. We also aimed to evaluate the prevalence of the various types of trochlear dysplasia in patients with patellar malalignment. MATERIALS AND METHODS After approval of our institutional ethics committee, we conducted a retrospective study ...
متن کاملBilateral dorsal defect of patellae with patellar hypoplasia and patellofemoral malalignment.
Dorsal defect of the patella (DDP) is an uncommon but well-documented disease entity. We report a case of bilateral DDP with patellar hypoplasia and patello-femoral malalignment. Detailed imaging features including radiographic, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed arthrotomographic appearances, are described.
متن کامل[Usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of patellar malalignment].
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at 20° of knee flexion in patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) caused by suspected patellofemoral malalignment (PFM). MATERIAL AND METHOD Fifty MRIs were performed on 25 patients with PFPS secondary to suspected PFM based on clinical examination, and on 25 patients without PFPS (con...
متن کاملEffect of Bias in Contrast Agent Concentration Measurement on Estimated Pharmacokinetic Parameters in Brain Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging Studies
Introduction: Pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is widely applied in tumor diagnosis and treatment evaluation. Precision analysis of the estimated PK parameters is essential when they are used as a measure for therapy evaluation or treatment planning. In this study, the accuracy of PK parameters in brain DCE...
متن کاملCLINICAL CORRELATIONS BETWEEN AUDITORY BRAIN STEM RESPONSE AND MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING IN PATIENTS WITH DEFINITE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
In an attempt to assess objectively the integrity of the auditory pathways in 30 patients with definite multiple sclerosis (MS), an audiometric evaluation was performed and auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) were obtained. Stressing the auditory system by increasing the stimulation rate showed some enhancement in the identification of MS. 24 (RO%) patients had an abnormal ABR along with c...
