BackgroundTo compare the diagnostic performance of the oblique sagittal and oblique coronal views of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) on three-dimensional volume isotropic turbo spin-echo acquisition (3D VISTA) images with two-dimensional (2D) fast spin-echo (FSE) T2-weighted images in the diagnosis of complications in ACL reconstruction.Material and methodsThis retrospective study included 74 patients. Both sequences were independently interpreted by two radiologistsResultThere were no statistically significant differences in the sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy between the two images.ConclusionThe diagnostic performance of the two oblique views on 3D VISTA imaging was comparable to that of 2D FSE.
