| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Samples from atelocollagen embedded chondrocytes and mouse knee osteoarthritis (OA) model were harvested and images were obtained by optical coherence tomography (OCT) system. Obtained images and their OCT values were evaluated quantitatively by originally developed software. Using our method, OCT could demonstrate articular cartilage matrix deposition in the sample of atelocollagen with chondrocytes comparing with histological evaluation. From the animal study, it was demonstrated that femur articular cartilage in mouse OA model presented significantly lower OCT value compared to normal articular cartilage.
These our data show the great potential of OCT system in orthopaedic field for quantitative evaluation of articular cartilage with noncontact manner. Moreover, the OCT probe system that enable real-time optical biopsy will be helpful to diagnose articular cartilage pathology quantitatively in clinical practice.
