Imaging of Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Preeti A Sukerkar et al. Radiol Clin North Am. 2022 Jul.

Abstract

Knee osteoarthritis is rising in prevalence, and more imaging studies are being requested to evaluate these patients. Although conventional radiographs of the knee are the most widely requested and available studies, other imaging modalities such as MRI, CT, and ultrasound may also be used. This article reviews commonly used imaging modalities, advantages and limitations of each, and their clinical applicability in diagnosing and monitoring knee osteoarthritis. New and advanced imaging techniques are also discussed as possible methods of early diagnosis and improved understanding of osteoarthritis pathophysiology.

Keywords: Knee imaging; Knee osteoarthritis; MRI; Osteoarthritis imaging; Radiography.
