A member asked:
Which exam is best for a baker cyst of the knee, an mri or an ultrasound? i am interested in also finding the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
An ultrasound will determine the presence or not of a Baker’s cyst. Majority of cysts are associated with damage in the joint and that will be best defined by MRI.
