With the advent of new treatments for articular cartilage disorders, accurate noninvasive assessment of articular cartilage, particularly with MR imaging, has become important. Understanding the MR im...
The purpose of this review article is to present the advantages and limitations of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and arthrography for evaluating articular pathology. Techn...
Summary T0 assess the accuracy of cartilage thickness measurements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we compared data ::o]~tained by cartilage thickness measurements in MRI with corresponding histo...
Recently developed magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques allow accurate detection of moderate- and high-grade articular cartilage defects. There has been increased interest in MR imaging of artic...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES The authors assess the accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) computer representations based on magnetic resonance images of articular cartilage lesions, using actual cartilage le...
Preliminary results from in vivo sodium MRI of human patellar articular cartilage are presented. Sodium images generated of an in vitro bovine patella clearly distinguish the region of proteoglycan de...
Powerful techniques with MR imaging are being developed for evaluating articular cartilage. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology development is driven largely by the search for novel therapeutic solutions...
PURPOSE To prospectively assess T2 mapping characteristics of normal articular cartilage and of cartilage at sites of arthroscopic repair, including comparison with histologic results and collagen org...
PURPOSE To assess dual-detector spiral CT arthrography in the evaluation of the entire knee cartilage obtained from cadavers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two independent observers characterized articular ...
OBJECTIVE We studied healthy volunteers with fat-suppressed three-dimensional (3D) spoiled gradient-recalled acquisition in the steady state (SPGR) to determine parameters that maximize positive contr...
OBJECTIVE This study assessed the three-dimensional accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for measuring articular surface topographies and cartilage thicknesses of human cadaveric knee joints, ...
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this work was to evaluate the results from sodium and proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting small changes in proteoglycan (PG) content in bovine articular carti...
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to review the current understanding of the MRI appearance of articular cartilage and its relationship to the microscopic and macroscopic structure of articular...
OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to evaluate several commonly used MR sequences to determine how accurately each demonstrates the thickness of the articular cartilage of the humeral head. MATE...
OBJECTIVE Previous studies suggest that MR imaging is capable of providing accurate data on knee joint cartilage volume and thickness in vitro, but the reproducibility of these data in living subjects...
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to assess the diagnostic ability of MDCT arthrography for acetabular and femoral cartilage lesions in patients with hip dysplasia. MATERIALS AND METHODS A disorder of the...
Magnetic resonance imaging of amputated human knees was performed to determine optimal sequences for depicting articular cartilage. 24 knees were examined with eight different sequences in a 1.0 T ima...
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been widely used to evaluate the thickness and volume of articular cartilage both in vivo and in vitro. While morphological information on the cartilage can be obta...
