"T1: low signal within the suprapatellar fat pad"
"T2: high signal within the suprapatellar fat pad"
"T1 C+ (Gd): enhancement of the suprapatellar fat pad"
"The anterior suprapatellar fat pad is oedematous compared to the prefemoral fat pad, enlarged (≥10 mm AP diameter) with a mass effect on the adjacent suprapatellar recess (i.e. a convex border) and quadriceps tendon 1-4."
"The aetiology is unclear. It is suggested to result from repeated microtrauma resulting in fibrosis and haemorrhage. There is no significant correlation with patellofemoral maltracking 8. There is an association with patellofemoral joint degeneration 9."
