Abstract

Objectives

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the most widely used investigations for knee pain as it provides detailed assessment of the bone and soft tissues. The aim of this study was to report the frequency of each diagnosis identified on MRI scans of the knee and explore the relationship between MRI results and onward treatment.

Methods

Consecutive MRI reports from a large NHS trust performed in 2017 were included in this study. The hospital electronic system was consulted to identify whether a patient underwent x-ray prior to the MRI, attended an outpatient appointment or underwent surgery.
