Differences in T2 values of knee cartilage measured with different scanners
INTRODUCTION T2 relaxation time of articular cartilage has been reported to reflect the orientation and concentration of collagen fibrils [1-2], and dGEMRIC (delayed gadoliniumenhanced MRI of cartilage) technique has been developed to assess GAG content of articular cartilage [3]. T2 relaxation time of articular cartilage has been applied in clinical practice using scanners from various manufac...
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 کاملEffect of Paralysis In-ovo on Development of Chick Hind Limb Articular Cartilage:an Evaluation Using Micro Mri Measurement of Delayed Gadolium Uptake
INTRODUCTION: It is known that immobilization causes a reduction of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in articular cartilage [1, 2]. Further, in-ovo paralysis by decamethonium bromide in developing chick embryos interferes with the formation of normal joint anatomy similar to arthrogryposis [3, 4]. However, the effect of immobilization on the GAG content of articular cartilage in the developing chick emb...
متن کاملTemporal dynamics of Gd-enhaced T1 relaxation time in deep and superficial femoral articular cartilage
INTRODUCTION dGEMRIC (delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage) technique has been developed to assess GAG content of articular cartilage [1]. Based on the previous studies, the ideal imaging time for knee joint after contrast agent injection has been assessed to be two hours [2]. However, the change in cartilage T1 has been observed from bulk regions of interest containing both deep and su...
متن کاملThe influences of walking, running and stair activity on knee articular cartilage: Quantitative MRI using T1 rho and T2 mapping
OBJECTIVE To explore the different influences of walking, running and stair activity on knee articular cartilage with T1 rho and T2 mapping sequences. MATERIALS AND METHODS MRI (3.0-T) scans of the right knee were performed in twenty-three young healthy adults immediately after 30 minutes of rest, walking, running and stair activity respectively. Articular cartilage was quantitatively assesse...
