The article presents information on a study aimed at evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of combining oblique coronal imaging along with traditional orthogonal views for evaluation of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). The study was conducted on 20 PCL injury patients and 43 patients with intact PCL who conducted PCL view imaging. It has been found that PCL view provides better evaluation of the PCL and improvement.
