Figure 1From: Diagnostic accuracy of a short-duration 3 Tesla magnetic resonance protocol for diagnosing stifle joint lesions in dogs with non-traumatic cranial cruciate ligament ruptureExamples of PDW images (sagittal plane) in which the degree of cartilage damage was correctly graded using the scoring system shown in Table2. The arrows indicate representative cartilage lesions. a (Score 0): Smooth normal cartilage; b (Score 1): Mild irregularities of the cartilage surface; c (Score 2): Partial thickness erosion; d (Score 3): Ulceration with exposure of subchondral bone.Back to article page
