MRI of articular cartilage: revisiting current status and future directions.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to review the current understanding of the MRI appearance of articular cartilage and its relationship to the microscopic and macroscopic structure of articular cartilage, the optimal pulse sequences to be used in imaging, the appearance of both degenerative and traumatic chondral lesions, the appearance of the most common cartilage repair procedures, and...
متن کاملMRI Assessment of Articular Cartilage Repair
Articular cartilage lesions in the young population predispose to the development of precocious osteoarthritis. Poor healing of cartilage damaged by trauma or degeneration has been ascribed to avascularity. Cartilage lesions are associated with significant morbidity, including lifestyle restrictions, especially in individuals engaged in sports. The past decade has seen the evolution of a number...
متن کاملClinical optical coherence tomography of early articular cartilage degeneration in patients with degenerative meniscal tears.
OBJECTIVE Quantitative and nondestructive methods for clinical diagnosis and staging of articular cartilage degeneration are important to the evaluation of potential disease-modifying treatments in osteoarthritis (OA). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a novel imaging technology that can generate microscopic-resolution cross-sectional images of articular cartilage in near real-time. This st...
متن کاملIn-situ Response Measurement of Degenerated Articular Cartilage to the Loading in 3-T MRI
The aim of this study was to assess the changes in MRI parameters during applied load directly in MR scanner and correlate these changes with biomechanical parameters of human articular cartilage. Cartilage explants from patients who underwent total knee replacement were examined in the micro-imaging system in 3-T scanner. Concerning MRI parameters, T1 withoutand T1 with contrast agent as a mar...
متن کاملMR Parametric Mapping as a Biomarker of Early Joint Degeneration
CONTEXT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common, worldwide disorder. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can directly and noninvasively evaluate articular cartilage and has emerged as an essential tool in the study of OA. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A PubMed search was performed using the keywords quantitative MRI and cartilage. No limits were set on the range of years searched. Articles were reviewed for relev...
