Fig. 2

A 32-year-old female marathon runner with episodes of medial knee pain. Comparison of sagittal FLASH (a), DESS (b), TruFISP (c), and SPACE (d) showing cartilage defects (arrows) at the medial knee compartment. Lesion conspicuity is highest on SPACE sequence. Susceptibility artefacts are seen on TruFISP (arrowheads). UTE subtraction image (e) shows normal appearance of deep osteochondral tissue at the medial knee compartment (arrowheads). Also note that, whereas the meniscus appears dark on conventional sequences, bright meniscal signal is seen on the UTE image (*)
