- Title
MRI in Degenerative Arthritides.
- Authors
Zhao, Jian; Link, Thomas M.
- Abstract
Owing to the potential to image not only bone but also cartilage, bone marrow, and the surrounding internal soft tissue structures, MRI is particularly useful for the assessment of degenerative arthritides. Cartilage-sensitive MRI techniques have been shown to have a significant correlation with arthroscopic grading scores. MRI is also helpful in differentiating osteoarthritis from avascular necrosis, labral pathology, and pigmented villonodular synovitis. This chapter describes advanced imaging techniques, including driven equilibrium Fourier transform (DEFT) and steady-state free precision (SSFP) imaging, direct MRI arthrography, and 3D-T1rho-relaxation mapping.
