The blood supply of meniscus is an essential
indicator for the prognosis of meniscal problems. With a favorable blood supply
of the teared meniscus, it’s tend to preserve the meniscus as much as possible
at partial meniscetomy and meniscal repair. Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)
theory provide information about microcirculation of blood in addition to the
pure molecular diffusion. The perfusion information detected with IVIM is
emphasized on microvascular bed, which is the typical blood supply pattern of
meniscus. In this study, IVIM model were used to estimate the change of
vasculature in normal, degenerated and teared meniscus.
