Abstract:Background
The field of orthopedics seeks effective, safer methods for evaluating articular cartilage regeneration. Despite various treatment innovations, non-invasive, contrast-free full quantitative assessments of hyaline articular cartilage’s regenerative potential using compositional magnetic resonance (MR) sequences remain challenging. In this context, our aim was to investigate the effectiveness of different MR sequences for quantitative assessment of cartilage and to compare them with the c… Show more
