Articular cartilage defects of the knee: correlation between magnetic resonance imaging and gross pathology.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee articular cartilage is possible owing to the contrast provided by different signal intensities of adjacent menisci and subchondral bone. The objective of this study was to determine the accuracy of MRI in quantitatively detecting thinning and focal defects of articular cartilage in vivo. High resolution MRI was performed followed by dissection of the...
متن کاملThe morphology of articular cartilage assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Reproducibility and anatomical correlation.
Quantitative assessment of cartilage volume and thickness in a formalin-alcohol fixed specimen of a human patella was conducted with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as it is still unclear whether the morphology of normal and damaged cartilage can be accurately demonstrated with this technique. MR imaging was carried out at 1.0 T (section thickness 2 mm, in-plane-resolution 0.39-0.58 mm) with ...
متن کاملSimultaneous Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Consolidation Measurement of Articular Cartilage
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers the opportunity to study biological tissues and processes in a non-disruptive manner. The technique shows promise for the study of the load-bearing performance (consolidation) of articular cartilage and changes in articular cartilage accompanying osteoarthritis. Consolidation of articular cartilage involves the recording of two transient characteristics: ...
متن کاملAdvances in magnetic resonance imaging of articular cartilage.
The pathology, assessment, and management of articular cartilage lesions of the hip and knee have been the subject of considerable attention in the recent orthopaedic literature. MRI has long been an important tool in the diagnosis and management of articular cartilage pathology, but detecting and interpreting early cartilaginous degeneration with this technology has been difficult. Biochemical...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Imaging Based Evaluation of Articular Cartilage Degeneration
Introduction: In-vivo magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) can potentially be used to determine structural changes in articular cartilage of the knee. Water, the dominant component in articular cartilage, is present in both free(70%) and bound form. Bound water is present in collagen fibrils comprising 1020% of the cartilage. Studies indicate that T2 – the proton spin-spin relaxation time parameter ...
