Quantitative evaluation of hyaline articular cartilage T2 maps of knee and determine the relationship of cartilage T2 values with age, gender, articular changes.
OBJECTIVE To identify changes in knee joint cartilage transverse relaxation values depending on the patient's age and gender and to investigate the relationship between knee joint pathologies and the transverse relaxation time. PATIENTS AND METHODS Knee MRI images of 107 symptomatic patients with various pathologic knee conditions were analyzed retrospectively. T2 values were measured at pate...
متن کاملUtility of MRI for Characterizing Articular Cartilage Pathology in Dogs with Medial Coronoid Process Disease
OBJECTIVE To determine whether assessment of morphological MRI sequences or delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) would have strong correlations with arthroscopic assessment of cartilage pathology in dogs with naturally occurring medial compartment pathology of the elbow. METHODS Dogs tentatively diagnosed with medial coronoid disease had evaluation of their affected elbows u...
متن کاملDetecting statistically significant changes in cartilage thickness with sub-voxel precision
Introduction: MRI-based quantification of the cartilage thickness is a robust and well validated technique for the assessment of cartilage degradation in osteoarthritis [1], and for the analysis of cartilage deformations after exercise [2]. Nowadays changes in cartilage thickness are evaluated by comparing averaged thickness over regions defined on an anatomical basis [1]. However, the combinat...
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 کاملNon-invasive Assessment of 3D Load Distribution over the Femoral Articular Cartilage after Medial Menisectomy - Experimental T2 Mapping Study in Porcine Knee -
INTRODUCTION The meniscus plays an important role in the biomechanical knee function. Previous experimental and clinical studies showed that menicectomy results in significant increase of local load transmission and leads to degeneration of the articular cartilage in the knee joint 1-3) . However, there has been no methods which allows three-dimensional (3D) assessment of load distribution in t...
