Diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In recent years, significant progress in the diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis (OA) has been made due to advancements in imaging techniques, especially magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the diagnostic accuracy of MRI for knee OA lacks agreement in the literature due to limitations such as heterogeneous reference standards and suboptimal methodological assessment tools. This scoping review systematically collated the literature on the accuracy of MRI in diagnosing symptomatic knee OA and evaluated its methodological quality using a novel tool.

Methods

A comprehensive search was conducted across seven electronic databases to identify systematic reviews, with or without meta-analyses, published until May 30, 2024. Selected articles were systematic reviews on
