colour enhanced MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan,showing the frontal view of knee with a fracture of the distal femur. The fracture is the jagged dark line surrounded by bright signal in the distal femur. The bright signal represents bone marrow edema secondary to an acute fracture. The bones comprising the knee (femur and tibia) are cushioned by the menisci (articular fibrocartilage). These are seen as triangular black densities on each side of the joint and between the bones. The signal which gives signal to the inside of the bone is from the fatty bone marrow | |
