| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to establish the MRI delineation methods for high-resolution images of the joints. We introduced the microscopy imaging. and multi-channel coil.
The microscopy provided high-resolution imagining with in-plane resolution of 0.1 mm and delineated subtle irregularities of the articular cartilage, ligamentous irregularities of the knee joint. The microscopy also demonstrated normal and pathological conditions of the wrist, including the triangular fibrocartilage complex. 8-channel knee coil demonstrated superior delineation of the ligament and meniscal morphologies.
These methods will promise the normal and pathological conditions of the fine components of the joints, which was hardly delineated by using the conventional imaging
