Objective: We compare sensitivities of conventional spin-echo and fast spin-echo sequences in the evaluation of meniscal tears. Furthermore, we reevaluate the results from prior studies comparing these two sequences to understand why there are differing conclusions regarding the efficacy of fast spin-echo sequences as a commensurate replacement for conventional spin-echo sequences.
Materials And Methods: We used records from a control group of 64 patients (128 menisci) who had undergone arthroscopy to determine the sensitivity of conventional spin-echo sequences for detecting meniscal tears.
