Brustag line? in knee MRI - Rita


Posted: Dec 17, 2014

In a knee MRI report, "the ACL... does not exactly follow the Brustag line." Been doing radiology for 15 years, never heard this one! This dictator clearly spelled out Brustag. (Yeah, we all know the credibility of MD's spelling sometimes!) I have to say that although his first language IS Chinese, he's very clear to me otherwise. Anyone know this one? Thank you!!
