The complexities and heterogeneity of the ageing process have slowed the development of
consensus on appropriate biomarkers of healthy ageing. The Medical Research Council …

For imaging of osteoarthritis (OA), MRI plays a major role in the research setting, with
compositional MRI techniques becoming increasingly more important thanks to their …

Objective The aim of this study was to compare glycosaminoglycan chemical exchange
saturation transfer (gagCEST) of knee cartilage with intraoperative results for the …

Objective Compositional-MRI parameters enable the assessment of cartilage ultrastructure.
Correlation of these parameters with clinical outcomes is unclear. This systematic review …

Cartilage degeneration is one of the most common chronic age-related joint disorders
leading to pain and reduced joint motion. The increasing prevalence of osteoarthritis …

Sugar‐based biopolymers have been recognized as attractive materials to develop
macromolecule‐and nanoparticle‐based cancer imaging and therapy. However, traditional …

Objective Our aim was to compare T2 with delayed gadolinium-enhanced magnetic
resonance imaging of cartilage (dGEMRIC) in the hip and assess the reproducibility and …

Compositional MRI techniques reveal microstructural changes in cartilage. Multi-
dimensional MR imaging assesses biochemical alterations in KOA-afflicted cartilage, aiding …

Background There is paucity of studies applying fat suppressed (FS) technique to T2
mapping to overcome chemical shift artifacts. The purpose of the study is to difference …

Articular cartilage is a highly specialized connective tissue overlying the adjoining bone
