NCT ID NCT07366619

First seen Jan 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study tests a new type of MRI scanner that may give clearer pictures of knee ligaments and tendons. Standard MRIs often miss these tissues, but the new method (MADI) uses a special angle to capture them. Researchers will scan 20 adults scheduled for ligament repair to see if the technique can accurately diagnose ACL tears and meniscus injuries, potentially reducing the need for exploratory surgery.
