Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic resonance imaging measurement of relaxation and water diffusion in the human lumbar intervertebral disc under compression in vitro.
TL;DR: This study demonstrated that magnetic resonance imaging can be used to measure significant changes in T1, T2, or diffusion in intervertebral disc specimens by region, loading condition, or Thompson grade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial distribution and relationship of T1rho and T2 relaxation times in knee cartilage with osteoarthritis.
Xiaojuan Li,Alex Pai,Gabrielle Blumenkrantz,Julio Carballido-Gamio,Thomas M. Link,Benjamin Ma,Michael D. Ries,Sharmila Majumdar +7 more
TL;DR: T1ρ and T2 values are not only increased but are also more heterogeneous in osteoarthritic cartilage and may provide complementary information regarding cartilage degeneration in OA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noninvasive measurements of bone mass, structure, and strength: current methods and experimental techniques.
Kenneth G. Faulkner,Claus-Christian Glüer,Sharmila Majumdar,Peter Lang,Klaus Engelke,Harry K. Genant +5 more
TL;DR: Preliminary studies show the value of these new techniques in noninvasive measurement of bone structure in order to estimate bone strength and assess fracture risk more accurately, however, to become clinically useful, many of these methods require further investigation to increase their ease of use and decrease their cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
A local adaptive threshold strategy for high resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography of trabecular bone.
TL;DR: Results indicate that direct methods, with the aid of advanced segmentation techniques, may yield equivalent or improved accuracy for quantification of trabecular bone microstructure without relying on densitometric or model assumptions.
Journal ArticleDOI
In Vivo 3.0-Tesla Magnetic Resonance T1ρ and T2 Relaxation Mapping in Subjects With Intervertebral Disc Degeneration and Clinical Symptoms
TL;DR: It is suggested that T1ρ may be sensitive to early degenerative changes (corroborating previous studies) and clinical symptoms in intervertebral disc degeneration, thus suggesting different sensitivities to tissue composition.
