T2-star Relaxation as a means to diffrentiatie Cartilage Repair Tissue after Microfracturing Therapy
Introduction MR imaging of cartilage is widely accepted as a tool in the evaluation of cartilage. Originally such studies were limited to morphological sequences, but increasingly MR imaging is being used to produce parameter maps (i.e. relaxation or diffusion constants) which allows a biochemical evaluation of the cartilage. One such parameter which has been extensively used is the T2 relaxati...

متن کاملMorphological MRI and T2 mapping of cartilage repair tissue after mosaicplasty with tissue-engineered cartilage in a pig model
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of mosaicplasty with tissue-engineered cartilage for the treatment of osteochondral defects in a pig model with advanced MR technique. Eight adolescent miniature pigs were used. The right knee underwent mosaicplasty with tissue-engineered cartilage for treatment of focal osteochondral defects, while the left knee was repaired via single mosaicp...
متن کاملCommunication as a Means to Differentiate Objects, Components and Agents
Choosing the right abstractions is important for managing the complexity of your system. Three important abstractions used today are object, component and agent. Many similarities exist between these abstractions, but to make proper use of each, one should have a good understanding of their differences. Too often, we hear people discussing their agent-based systems when they have simply used th...
متن کاملT2 Relaxation Time Mapping of the Cartilage Cap of Osteochondromas
OBJECTIVE Our aim was to evaluate the cartilage cap of osteochondromas using T2 maps and to compare these values to those of normal patellar cartilage, from age and gender matched controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board and request for informed consent was waived. Eleven children (ages 5-17 years) with osteochondromas underwent MR imaging, whi...
