[Abstract] Objective: To investigate the value of three dimensional reconstruction technique of 1.5 T MR in evaluation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).Materials and Methods: Thirty normal volunteers and 11 patients who had ACL injury, underwent MR of knee joint including sagittal scanning of T1WI, fat suppressed-fast spin echo-T2 weight (FS-FSE-T2W), coronal fat suppressed PDWI and M3D/cube T2WI. All images were reconstructed using ADW 4.4 workstation. The routine MR image and M3D/cube T2W images were compared.Results: Routine MRI: Sixteen cases were showed completely in one image, 14 cases were showed completely in two continues images; All the 30 cases were showed completely in M3D/cube T2WI in normal group. Two cases showed no injury, 3 cases showed ACL partial tears, 6 showed completely collapse in 11 ACL injuries in routine MRI; 5 cases showed ACL partial tears, 6 cases showed completely collapse in M3D/cube T2WI.Conclusion: M3D/cube T2WI could improve the diagnosis rate of ACL, it will be one of the best imaging technique to show ACL.
