- Abstract
The efficacy of surgical and medical treatment of osteoarthritis is difficult to assess because of the lack of a noninvasive, sensitive measure of cartilage integrity. Delayed gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage (dGEMRIC) was designed to specifically examine glycosaminoglycan changes in articular cartilage that occur during the development of osteoarthritis. Our primary goal was to compare this technique with measurement of the joint space width on conventional radiographs in patients with hip dysplasia. We performed this comparison by assessing the correlation between the findings of each technique and clinically important factors such as pain, severity of dysplasia, and age.
