A descriptive study of 50 patients was conducted on Siemens Avanto 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging machine for evaluation of traumatic knee injuries using various MRI sequences. Out of 50 patients 36 patients were males and 14 patients were female which accounts for 72% for male and 28% for female respectively. MRI sequences taken were using sagittal (T2 FSE, PDFAT SAT, STIR, T2 FRFSE fatsat), coronal PDFATSAT and axial STIR sequences. The assessment of images was subsequently performed by the use of PACS software together by the radiologist blinded to the final diagnosis. Various traumatic knee pathologies included ACL tear, PCL tear, meniscal tear, collateral ligament tear, bony contusions and various soft tissue injuries etc.
