Abstract

The aim of this study was to distinguish the individual bundles of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using the Chinese Visible Human (CVH) dataset and images obtained by low‑field routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the oblique and coronal planes. Sectional anatomical data of the knee were selected from the CVH dataset and reconstructed in 3D. MRI of normal knees was performed with a low‑field‑strength magnet in the coronal plane. The shape of the ACL was clearly displayed. Using the oblique coronal plane, the anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) bundles of the ACL were distinguished in the reconstructed anatomical data and the MR images. The double‑bundle structure of the ACL was evaluated in the CVH 3D reconstructions and MR images. Using the oblique coronal plane, it was possible to review the ACL structure in the knee. The study demonstrated the feasibility of distinguishing the two bundles in the ACL with CVH 3D reconstruction and low‑field strength MRI. The accuracy in the grading of ACL injury in presurgical planning may be improved.
