In Situ, Noninvasive, T2*-Weighted MRI-Derived Parameters Predict Ex Vivo Structural Properties of an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction or Bioenhanced Primary Repair in a Porcine Model.

The article discusses Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which is a noninvasive technology that can quantitatively assess anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft size and signal intensity. The study provides various hypothesis and discusses method. It gives various results and volume and grayscale values from high-resolution T2 weighted MRI scans are predictive of structural properties of the healing ligament or graft in a porcine was concluded.
