Application and advance of physiological MR imaging of knee articular cartilage / 医学研究生学报

ABSTRACT

Physiological MR imaging techniques provide abundant information for the diagnosis and research of knee cartilage le -sions.It can not only evaluate the morphology and structure of cartilage , but also analyze the functional , metabolic and biochemical changes quantitatively , to explore the causes of cartilage lesions at the molecular level .Application and advance of physiological MR imaging of knee articular cartilage are reviewed , including sodium imaging , delayed gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage, T1ρ, T2 mapping, chemical exchange saturation transfer , diffusion imaging and so on, aiming at providing references for choosing MR imaging of knee articular cartilage .
