Objective To determine if the quantitative MRI techniques T2 and T1ρ mapping are sensitive
to ischemic injury to epiphyseal cartilage in vivo in a piglet model of Legg-Calvé-Perthes …

There is a clinical need for alternatives to gadolinium contrast‐enhanced magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) to facilitate early detection and assessment of femoral head …

Abstract Legg‐Calvé‐Perthes disease (LCPD) is a childhood hip disorder characterized by
ischemic injury to the epiphysis of the femoral head, but changes to the metaphysis have …

Objective To determine the effects of acute (≤ 7 days) femoral head ischemia on the
proximal femoral growth plate and metaphysis in a piglet model of Legg-Calvé-Perthes …

Infantile Blount's disease primarily affects toddlers, leading to tibia vara with or without
growth arrest. While the disease's association with abnormal compressive forces on the …

Juvenile osteochondritis dissecans (JOCD) is a pediatric orthopedic disorder that involves
the articular–epiphyseal cartilage complex and underlying bone. Clinical disease is often …

The projects presented here revolve around the utilization of three different animal models of
developmental and degenerative orthopaedic diseases, with the work described in order of …

Quantitative mapping of T2, T1ρ, adiabatic T1ρ, and adiabatic T2ρ relaxation times may be
useful to assess ischemic injury to the femoral head. In this work, we investigated whether …
