Research Abstract |
By using 3.0T MR machine, high resolution imaging for early detection of the subtle cartilage damage on the osteoarthritis patient was employed. Optimal MR scan parameters were obtained using phantom and volunteers' knees. Swine knees and human knees were scanned to obtain high resolution, high quality MR images. In addition, UTE (ultra short TE), T1ρ mapping, and RVS (Real-time Virtual Sonography) were also introduced.
