Three-dimensional isotropic T2-weighted fast spin-echo (VISTA) knee MRI at 3.0 T in the evaluation of the anterior cruciate ligament injury with additional views: comparison with two-dimensional fast spin-echo T2-weighted sequences.

CONCLUSION: The performance of the additional ACL view on 3D VISTA MRI is comparable to that of 2D FSE T2W MRI in the diagnosis of ACL tear though the image quality of the 3D VISTA MRI is not equal to that of 2D FSE MRI.
