Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of semi-quantitative whole joint assessment of knee OA: MOAKS (MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score)
David J. Hunter,Ali Guermazi,Grace H. Lo,Grace H. Lo,Andrew J. Grainger,Philip G. Conaghan,Robert M. Boudreau,Frank W. Roemer,Frank W. Roemer +8 more
TL;DR: The iteratively developed magnetic resonance imaging Osteoarthritis Knee Score shows very good to excellent reliability for the large majority of features assessed and further iterative development and research will include assessment of its validation and responsiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation of the development of knee pain with enlarging bone marrow lesions on magnetic resonance imaging
David T. Felson,Jingbo Niu,Ali Guermazi,Frank W. Roemer,Piran Aliabadi,Margaret Clancy,James C. Torner,C. Elizabeth Lewis,Michael C. Nevitt +8 more
TL;DR: Development of knee pain is associated with an increase in BMLs as revealed on MRI, and multiple logistic regression was used to assess whether an increased BML score is predictive of the development of kneePain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of abnormalities in knees detected by MRI in adults without knee osteoarthritis: population based observational study (Framingham Osteoarthritis Study)
Ali Guermazi,Jingbo Niu,Daichi Hayashi,Frank W. Roemer,Frank W. Roemer,Martin Englund,Martin Englund,Tuhina Neogi,Piran Aliabadi,Christine E. McLennan,David T. Felson +10 more
TL;DR: MRI shows lesions in the tibiofemoral joint in most middle aged and elderly people in whom knee radiographs do not show any features of osteoarthritis, regardless of pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Articular Cartilage in the Knee: Current MR Imaging Techniques and Applications in Clinical Practice and Research
Michel D. Crema,Frank W. Roemer,Frank W. Roemer,Monica D. Marra,Deborah Burstein,Garry E. Gold,Felix Eckstein,Thomas Baum,Timothy J. Mosher,John A. Carrino,Ali Guermazi +10 more
TL;DR: Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is the most important imaging modality for the evaluation of traumatic or degenerative cartilaginous lesions in the knee and is a powerful noninvasive tool for detecting such lesions and monitoring the effects of pharmacologic and surgical therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meniscal Tear in Knees Without Surgery and the Development of Radiographic Osteoarthritis Among Middle-Aged and Elderly Persons: The Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study
Martin Englund,Ali Guermazi,Frank W. Roemer,Frank W. Roemer,Piran Aliabadi,Mei Yang,Cora E. Lewis,James C. Torner,Michael C. Nevitt,Burton Sack,David T. Felson +10 more
TL;DR: In knees without surgery, meniscal damage is a potent risk factor for the development of radiographic OA, and the need for better understanding, prevention, and treatment of meniscalDamage is highlighted.
