A member asked:
Does an mri with contrast help detect meniscal tears or pathologies that might otherwise be missed using the standard method without contrast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MRI without contrast is sufficient to pick up a meniscal tear. Adding contrast will not improve the accuracy.
