Correlation Between T1ρ MRI and Arthroscopy in Adults with Chondromalacia

چکیده
Figure 2: Correlation of arthroscopic grade with T1ρ MRI. 14 arthroscopic observations of chondromalacia were made among 6 patients. Mean compartment T1ρ was abnormal in all cases of grade 3 and 4 chondromalacia, but mixed for grades 1 and 2. ROI analysis of the individual patients resolves the inconsistency among grades 1 and 2, for which heterogeneous and focally increased T1ρ was observed and mischaracterized by the compartment average.

Reliability of clinical findings and magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of chondromalacia patellae.
BACKGROUND This diagnostic study was performed to determine the correlation between anterior knee pain and chondromalacia patellae and to define the reliability of magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of chondromalacia patellae. METHODS Fifty-six young adults (median age, 19.5 years) with anterior knee pain had magnetic resonance imaging of the knee followed by arthroscopy. The patell...
متن کاملT1ρ Mri Quantification of Arthroscopically Confirmed Cartilage Focal Lesions in Knees with Acute Acl Injuries
INTRODUCTION Knees with acute injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, have a high risk of developing post-traumatic OA (1). Quantitative MRI T1ρ mapping has been suggested as a promising tool to detect early biochemical changes in cartilage matrix during degeneration. Although many studies in literature show that T1ρ could potentially detect cartilage degeneration non-invasive...
متن کاملAssessment of Correlation Between MRI and Arthroscopic Pathologic Findings in the Shoulder Joint
Background: The objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging for shoulder joint pathologies and then compare the results with arthroscopy, the standard for joint diagnosis. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 80 patients with shoulder joint disorders, who underwent final arthroscopy, were studied. Based on patients’ medical history and physic...
متن کاملRadiographic assessment in patellar instability and chondromalacia patellae.
Minor degrees of malalignment of the patella and anatomical abnormalities including a flattened sulcus angle and an increased ratio between patellar tendon length and patellar length (PT:P) have been suggested as predisposing factors in the causation of chondromalacia patellae, as well as patellar instability. In order to confirm or refute this hypothesis a prospective study has been performed ...
متن کاملComparison of Indirect MR Arthrography With Conventional MRI in the Diagnosis of Knee Pathologies in Patients With Knee Pain
BACKGROUND Knee pain is a common problem in the general population. In order to determine the extent of the injury and the appropriate treatment, MRI provides the most accurate imaging method. This may be done through conventional MRI techniques or by injecting a contrast material (MR arthrography). OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of these two methods....
