Why are missing ligaments on an MRI considered to be ruptured?

I looked at the notes for an ankle MRI recently where the radiologist wrote that the ATFL ligament could not be demarcated. Later she wrote that the ATFL was completely ruptured, but I can't work out how she came to that conclusion if she couldn't distinguish it on the image.

I think I've seen this before and I tried to use Google to work why this is a sign of a complete rupture, but I can't seem to find anything that says why this is. Isn't it possible that the MRI just misses the ligament? Does someone know about this?

AI for radiology - A survey

Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
