Abstract
64-section MDCT has very high sensitivity and specificity for ACL tears and, as on MRI, secondary signs, such as buckling of the PCL, are also useful in their diagnosis. MDCT has a low sensitivity for other soft-tissue injuries at the knee; however, its high specificity indicates that apparent PCL, meniscal, and collateral ligament tears can reliably be treated as true-positive findings.
