Early detection of osteoarthritis (OA) remains a critical yet unsolved multifaceted problem. To
address the multifaceted nature of OA a systems model was developed to consolidate a …

Recently, great progress has been made in particularly in the imaging of cartilage and bone
structure. Increased interest has focused on high-field (3 Tesla) imaging and more recently …

OBJECTIVE. The purposes of this review are to describe commonly available 3D MRI
techniques and to discuss the literature to date regarding the utility of such techniques in the …

Purpose: To compare a vastly undersampled isotropic projection steady-state free
precession (VIPR-SSFP) sequence and routine magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for …

Purpose: To assess the use of 3-dimensional (3D) MR imaging of the ankle with the 3D-
turbo-spin-echo-sequence 3D-“Sampling Perfection with Application optimized Contrast …

OBJECTIVE: The Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) is targeted at identifying sensitive biomarkers
and risk factors of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) onset and progression. Quantitative …

Purpose To present a time‐efficient technique for banding reduction in balanced steady‐
state free precession (bSSFP) imaging using phase‐cycled simultaneous multislice (SMS) …

Abstract Background and Aims Histopathological diagnosis is the gold standard in many
acquired inflammatory, infiltrative and amyloid based peripheral nerve diseases and a …

Purpose Balanced steady‐state free precession (bSSFP) imaging suffers from banding
artifacts due to its inherent sensitivity to inhomogeneities in the main magnetic field. These …

Purpose: To compare six new three‐dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance (MR) methods
for evaluating knee cartilage at 3.0 T. Materials and Methods: We compared: fast‐spin‐echo …
