Brief description/objective

Evaluation of the feasibility of virtual magnetic resonance (MR) arthroscopy was performed on 10 patients referred for MR arthrography of the shoulder, the elbow, or the knee. A fast spoiled contrast-enhanced three-dimensional gradient-echo sequence was combined with image postprocessing to render arthroscopic views. Virtual MR arthroscopy was successfully demonstrated in all 10 joints. Determination of added diagnostic benefit will require further study.
