Objective To analyze the clinical value of magnetic resonance image diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)in the classification of knee cartilage injury.Methods Eighty patients with knee joint cartilage injury admitted in the Changshu No.1 People's Hospital from February 2022 to February 2024 were selected as the injury group,and 80 healthy adults with knee joint discomfort and no articular cartilage injury treated during the same period were selected as the uninjured group.DTI examination was performed on all patients.The anisotropy fraction(FA)and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)values of the two groups were compared,and the results of knee cartilage Recht-MRI grading were statistically analyzed.The FA values and ADC values of different Recht-MRI grading groups were compared,and the correlation between FA values and ADC values and Recht-MRI grading was analyzed by Spearman.Results The FA value of the injured group was significantly lower than that of the uninjured group,and the ADC value of the was significantly higher than that of the uninjured group(P<0.001).The Recht-MRI grade of knee cartilage in 80 patients was the highest in grade Ⅱ.The FA value of grade Ⅳ patients was lower than that of grade Ⅲ,Ⅱ,andⅠ patients.The FA value of grade Ⅲ patients was lower than that of grade Ⅱ and Ⅰ patients,and the FA value of grade Ⅱ patients was lower than that of grade Ⅰ patients.The ADC value of Grade Ⅳ patients was higher than that of Grade Ⅲ,Ⅱ,and Ⅰ patients,and the ADC value of Grade Ⅲ patients was higher than that of Grade Ⅱ and Ⅰ patients,the ADC value of Grade Ⅱ patients was higher than that of Grade Ⅰ patients,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).FA value was negatively correlated with Recht-MRI grading,ADC value was positively correlated with Recht-MRI grading.Conclusion DTI can accurately evaluate the degree of knee cartilage injury through quantitative detection of FA value and ADC value,and guide clinical early targeted treatment.
