An investigation into the efficacy of MRI T2 in an OA population
… studies have shown that T2 is sensitive to some of the pathologic changes that occur in osteoarthritis (OA) such as hydration and the subsequent changes in macromolecular concentration, macromolecular structure, and tissue architecture. In this in vivo analysis, several techniques such as mean T2 …

Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury, Patient Variables, Outcomes and Knee Osteoarthritis
… there is still no consensus on the optional form of treatment. An ACL injury is also a well known high risk factor for the development of knee osteoarthritis (OA) some decades later. Knee OA development after an ACL injury is multi-factorial. All patient variables must be further explored before …

Three-dimensional T1 quantification techniques for assessment of cartilage quality using dGEMRIC
… (OA) is a common chronic disease and one of the major global causes for functional disabilities. The disease is characterized by loss and degradation of cartilage, commonly affecting the knees and hips. Delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) is a previously presented method …

Knee Osteoarthritis: gagCEST MR Imaging of Articular Cartilage
… public health problem that involves the disorder of articular cartilage. Until now, there is no effective cure for it. However, beginning treatments and therapies at an early stage can help in preventing further disease progression.It has been reported that the loss of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in …

Human studies evaluating dGEMRIC as a prognostic tool for knee osteoarthritis
… knee OA is radiography. However, the disease has often progressed well beyond the point of no return once radiographic cartilage changes become visible. Identifying changes in cartilage at an early stage of OA would allow curative or prophylactic treatment to be instigated much earlier than today. …
