Figure 6. MRI signals and time course of the resolution for the insufficiency fracture in the proximal medial tibia. Coronal T1-weighted images (A–D), sagittal T1-weighted images (E–H), and sagittal T2-weighted images with fat suppression of the right knee taken immediately after the onset of the knee pain, and 4 months, 10 months, and 16 months after initiation of LIPUS therapy. Low signal intensity (A and E, arrows) on T1-weighted images and high signal intensity (I, arrowhead) on short TI inversion recovery (STIR) images in the proximal medial tibia disappeared over time. T1WI, T1-weighted images; STIR, short TI inversion recovery; LIPUS, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound; M, months.
