1 Fig. 1 Underestimation and lack of sensitivity of T<sub>1</sub>-weighted fat-suppressed (FS) SPGR sequence in the assessment of BMLs. (A) Sagital T<sub>2</sub>-weighted FS image depicts BMLs in the patellofemoral compartment (→) as well as in the proximal tibiofibular joint (▸). (B) Sagittal T<sub>1</sub>-weighted FS SPGR of the same knee obtained just after the acquisition of sagittal T<sub>2</sub>-weighted FS sequence shows relevant underestimation of the size of BML in the femoral trochlea (→), as well as lack of sensitivity, as the patellar BML could not be detected in such technique. Note that BMLs in the proximal tibiofibular joint are barely seen in SPGR.
