In this matter, one of the parameters that affects image quality is slice thickness, which is directly related to spatial resolution and the partial volume effect. Furthermore, variations in slice thickness can lead to differences in the clarity of anatomical structures, particularly the ACL, which is relatively small and requires an optimal visualization detail.rnResearch Objective: This research aims to investigate the effect of slice thickness variation on anatomical information in sagittal T2 TSE fat-saturated knee MRI of the patients with clinical ACL injury, and to determine the slice thickness that provides the most optimal visualization of these anatomical structures.rnResearch Design: This research applied a quantitative method with an experimental approach. As for the examinations, they were conducted on 9 patients with clinical ACL injury undertaken at Columbia Asia Hospital using slice thickness variations of 2 mm, 3 mm, and 4 mm. While the quality of anatomical information was assessed by 7 radiographer respondents using a questionnaire with an ordinal rating scale. Thereafter, the collected data were then analysed using the Shapiro Wilk normality test and the Friedman test to determine significant differences between the slice thickness variations.rnResearch Results: This research showed that the data were not normally distributed, with a significance value of p 0.05, and thus the Friedman test was accordingly applied. The results indicated a significant difference between slice thickness variations on the clarity of anatomical information in knee MRI, with p = 0.000. Subsequently, the highest mean rank was observed for the 2 mm slice thickness (2.40), followed by 3 mm (2.20) and 4 mm (1.40), indicating that a 2 mm slice thickness provides the best and clearest anatomical visualization of the ACL structure.rnKeywords : Knee MRI, Slice Thickness, ACL Injury, T2 TSE Fat-Saturated, Anatomical Information.
