Articular cartilage degeneration classification by means of high-frequency ultrasound.
CONTEXT To date only single ultrasound parameters were regarded in statistical analyses to characterize osteoarthritic changes in articular cartilage and the potential benefit of using parameter combinations for characterization remains unclear. OBJECTIVE Therefore, the aim of this work was to utilize feature selection and classification of a Mankin subset score (i.e., cartilage surface and c...
متن کاملAltered osmotic swelling behavior of proteoglycan-depleted bovine articular cartilage using high frequency ultrasound.
Swelling behavior is an electrochemical mechanical property of articular cartilage. It plays an important role in weight bearing and joint lubrication. In this study, the altered transient and inhomogeneous swelling behavior of the degenerated articular cartilage was observed and quantified in situ using ultrasound. Three groups of bovine patellar articular cartilage samples (n = 10 x 3) were o...

متن کاملFollistatin Alleviates Synovitis and Articular Cartilage Degeneration Induced by Carrageenan
Activins are proinflammatory cytokines which belong to the TGFβ superfamily. Follistatin is an extracellular decoy receptor for activins. Since both activins and follistatin are expressed in articular cartilage, we hypothesized that activin-follistatin signaling participates in the process of joint inflammation and cartilage degeneration. To test this hypothesis, we examined the effects of foll...
متن کاملMore intrinsic parameters should be used in assessing degeneration of articular cartilage with quantitative ultrasound
During the last decade, the quantitative ultrasound technique has been widely employed as a versatile modality to investigate a thin but crucial tissue layer--the articular cartilage. Previous studies provide information about the morphology and mechanical and acoustic properties of the tissue derived from ultrasound measurements and correlate them with cartilage degeneration. In a previous iss...
