Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valuable tool for evaluating musculoskeletal disease
as it offers a range of image contrasts that are sensitive to underlying tissue biochemical …

OBJECTIVE. MRI is the most accurate noninvasive method available to diagnose disorders
of articular cartilage. Conventional 2D and 3D approaches show changes in cartilage …

Purpose Aberrant walking biomechanics after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
(ACLR) are hypothesized to be associated with deleterious changes in knee cartilage. T1ρ …

Osteoarthritis (OA) has become the most prevalent chronic disease of the elderly (1, 2) and
is an important cause of disability in our society with increasing incidence not only in the US …

Purpose To prospectively determine the reproducibility of quantitative magnetic resonance
(MR) imaging biomarkers of the morphology and composition (spin lattice relaxation time in …

Cartilage is one of the most essential tissues for healthy joint function and is compromised in
degenerative and traumatic joint diseases. There have been tremendous advances during …

Cartilage loss is irreversible, and to date, no effective pharmacotherapies are available to
protect or regenerate cartilage. Quantitative prestructural/compositional MR imaging …

T 1ρ relaxation time provides a new contrast mechanism that differs from T 1-and T 2-
weighted contrast, and is useful to study low-frequency motional processes and chemical …

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a major source of disability that has no known treatment or
cure. Morphological and compositional MRI is commonly used for assessing the bone and …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers the direct visualization of the human
musculoskeletal (MSK) system, especially all diarthrodial tissues including cartilage, bone …
