Osteoarthritis (OA), a leading cause of disability, affects 27 million people in the United
States and its prevalence is rising along with the rise in obesity. So far, biomechanical or …

Osteoarthritis is a widely prevalent disease of the whole joint including cartilage, bone, and
soft tissues. The increasing importance of imaging and assessment of all joint structures has …

Objective To assess reliability and discriminative validity of cartilage compositional magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) in knee osteoarthritis (OA). Design The study was carried out per …

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

Purpose To investigate the effect of sample orientation on T1rho and T2 values of articular
cartilage in histologically confirmed normal and abnormal regions using a whole-body 3T …

Objective To evaluate whether T2 relaxation time measurements obtained at 3 T MRI predict
the onset of radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA). Materials and methods We performed a …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to determine whether the mean and heterogeneity
of magnetic resonance (MR) knee cartilage T2 relaxation time measurements at baseline …

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 …

Purpose To develop a robust sequence that combines T1ρ and T2 quantifications and to
examine the in vivo repeatability and diurnal variation of T1ρ and T2 quantifications in knee …
