Measurements of the femoral notch on an axial image. The notch depth is perpendicular to a line connecting the ventral articular surfaces of the medial and the lateral femur condyle. The notch width and the condylar width are parallel to that line at 2/3 of the notch depth. MR details: axial reformatted (MPR) images of SAG 3D DESS: slice thickness of 0.7 mm, 16.3 ms TR, 4.7 ms TE, 25° flip angle, 14 cm × 14 cm FOV; 384 × 307 pixels matrix; 185 Hz/pixel bandwidth, 1 average, anterior/posterior phase encoding, acquisition time 10 min 23 s.
