Evaluation of the anterior inferior tibiofibular and anterior talofibular ligaments using 2D oblique coronal imaging and 3D isotropic resolution T2‐weighted fast spin‐echo sequences at 3.0 T: Is there additional diagnostic value?
Abstract Introduction To compare diagnostic performance of additional two‐dimensional (2D) oblique coronal view and three‐dimensional (3D) T2‐weighted fast spin‐echo(FSE) images for diagnosing injury of the anterior inferior tibiofibular (AiTFL) and anterior talofibular ligaments (ATFL). Methods This study included 48 patients with ankle sprain who had undergone MRI using standard protocol and two additional sequences with 2D oblique coronal and 3D isotropic images, followed by arthroscopic...
