Annular tears studied with consecutive T2-weighted and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging (n = 10)
| Initial Examination | Follow-up Examination | |
|---|---|---|
| Abnormal signal (T2-weighted imaging) | 10 | 9 |
| Normal signal (T2-weighted imaging) | 0 | 1 |
| Focal enhancement (contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging) | 10 | 10 |
| Absent enhancement (contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging) | 0 | 0 |
