Can MTR be used to assess cartilage in the presence of Gd-DTPA2-?
Magnetization transfer (MT) and T(1) and T(2) relaxation of normal, trypsinized, and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-treated cartilage were measured in the absence and presence of Gd-DTPA(2-). Without the addition of Gd-DTPA(2-), neither T(1) nor T(2) showed any significant change with cartilage damage. However, with Gd-DTPA(2-), trypsinized cartilage exhibited substantially shorter T(1) than norm...
متن کاملIn vivo transport of Gd-DTPA2- into human meniscus and cartilage assessed with delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC)
BACKGROUND Impaired stability is a risk factor in knee osteoarthritis (OA), where the whole joint and not only the joint cartilage is affected. The meniscus provides joint stability and is involved in the early pathological progress of OA. Delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) has been used to identify pre-radiographic changes in the cartilage in OA, but has been used less comm...
متن کاملInfluence of knee positions on T2, T*2, and dGEMRIC mapping in porcine knee cartilage.
We examined the influence of flexed knee positions on cartilage MR assessments. Sagittal T(2), T*(2), and delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) maps of the femoral cartilage were obtained in eight 6-month-old porcine femorotibial joints in the extended knee position (position A: flexion 0 degrees and femoral shaft in parallel with the amplitude of static field), flexed knee pos...
متن کاملImpact of different coils on biochemical T2 and T2* relaxation time mapping of articular cartilage
Introduction: In the evaluation of articular cartilage, cartilage repair and OA, biochemical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an important role. Different biochemical methods are exploited for their potential use at 1.5 Tesla and 3.0 Tesla in various studies and recently in clinical routine protocols (1). Advances in coil-technology significantly improve their ability for the diagnosis of...
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...
