In vivo open-bore MRI reveals region- and sub-arc-specific lengthening of the unloaded human posterior cruciate ligament.

In vivo open-bore MRI reveals region- and sub-arc-specific lengthening of the unloaded human posterior cruciate ligament.

Open-bore MRI scanners allow joint soft tissue to be imaged over a large, uninterrupted range of flexion. Using an open-bore scanner, 3D para-sagittal images of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) were collected from seven healthy subjects in unloaded, recumbent knee extension and flexion. PCL len...
