Journal ArticleDOI
Mechano-acoustic diagnosis of cartilage degeneration and repair.
Mikko S. Laasanen,Juha Töyräs,Anna Vasara,Mika M. Hyttinen,Simo Saarakkala,Jani Hirvonen,Jukka S. Jurvelin,Ilkka Kiviranta +7 more
TL;DR: High-resolution B-mode ultrasound imaging and quantitative mechanical measurements for the diagnosis of cartilage degeneration and for monitoring tissue-healing after autologous chondrocyte transplantation provide information on the functional and structural integrity of Cartilage and subchondral bone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body mass index and bone loss among postmenopausal women: the 10-year follow-up of the OSTPRE cohort
J. Saarelainen,Vesa Kiviniemi,Heikki Kröger,Marjo Tuppurainen,Leo Niskanen,Jukka S. Jurvelin,Risto Honkanen +6 more
TL;DR: The time course of bone loss as a function of body mass index (BMI) in early and late postmenopausal women in Kuopio Osteoporosis Risk Factor and Prevention Study was examined to approximate the bone loss up to 20 post menopause.
Journal Article
Ultrasonic characterization of articular cartilage
Juha Töyräs,Heikki J. Nieminen,Mikko S. Laasanen,Miika T. Nieminen,Rami K. Korhonen,Jarno Rieppo,Jani Hirvonen,Heikki J. Helminen,Jukka S. Jurvelin +8 more
TL;DR: High frequency ultrasound is a useful tool for evaluation of the quality of superficial articular cartilage as well as for the measurement of cartilage thickness, and appears to be a valuable supplement to the mechanical measurements of articular Cartilage stiffness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative MRI of parallel changes of articular cartilage and underlying trabecular bone in degeneration.
E. Lammentausta,E. Lammentausta,P. Kiviranta,Juha Töyräs,Mika M. Hyttinen,Ilkka Kiviranta,Miika T. Nieminen,Jukka S. Jurvelin +7 more
TL;DR: Quantitative MRI variables, especially T(2) relaxation time of articular cartilage, may be feasible surrogate markers for early and advanced osteoarthritic changes in joint tissues, including decreased elastic moduli, PG and collagen contents of cartilage and mineral density and volume fraction of trabecular bone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative ultrasound imaging of spontaneous repair of porcine cartilage
Mikko S. Laasanen,Juha Töyräs,Anna Vasara,Simo Saarakkala,Mika M. Hyttinen,Ilkka Kiviranta,Jukka S. Jurvelin +6 more
TL;DR: Quantitative ultrasound parameters offered diagnostic information revealing impaired structural integrity of the spontaneously repaired porcine cartilage and subchondral bone that is not detectable by traditional arthroscopic means.
