ABSTRACT
Osteoarthritis [O.A] of the knee is the most common disorder of human joints. This study was conducted to evaluate the value of magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] in the detection of disease progression in patients with knee O.A. Twenty patients with symptomatic knee O.A. were examined clinically, radiologically [plain X-rays] and MR imaging. The procedures were repeated after 6 months. X-ray findings show a significant difference [p<0.05] in medial and patello-femoral compartments, MRI findings show highly significant difference between studied cases [p<0.01]. We concluded that MRI might be useful in the evaluation of disease progression than clinical or radiological examination of O.A knees
