Journal ArticleDOI
Texture analysis of cartilage T2 maps: individuals with risk factors for OA have higher and more heterogeneous knee cartilage MR T2 compared to normal controls - data from the osteoarthritis initiative
Gabby B. Joseph,Thomas Baum,Julio Carballido-Gamio,Lorenzo Nardo,Warapat Virayavanich,Hamza Alizai,John A. Lynch,Charles E. McCulloch,Sharmila Majumdar,Thomas M. Link +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that subjects at risk for OA have both higher and more heterogeneous cartilage T2 values than controls, and that T2 parameters are associated with morphologic degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anisotropy of the elastic modulus of trabecular bone specimens from different anatomical locations.
TL;DR: The data suggest that BMD can be most successfully applied to determine the mechanical properties in the principal loading direction, which from a clinical perspective may be most relevant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cartilage MR imaging at 3.0 versus that at 1.5 T: preliminary results in a porcine model.
Jeffrey N. Masi,Christian A. Sell,Catherine M. Phan,Eric T. Han,David C. Newitt,Lynne S. Steinbach,Sharmila Majumdar,Thomas M. Link +7 more
TL;DR: In this animal model, MR imaging at 3.0 T increased the accuracy of cartilage lesion assessment when compared with imaging at 1.5 T, and both subjective evaluation of image quality and SNR values were significantly higher at 2.7 T.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology of the human vertebral endplate.
Azucena G. Rodriguez,Ana E. Rodríguez-Soto,Andrew J. Burghardt,Sigurd Berven,Sharmila Majumdar,Jeffrey C. Lotz +5 more
TL;DR: Contrary to the prevailing notion, vertebral endplate porosity increased between 50% and 130% and trabecular thickness decreased by between 20% and 50% with advancing disc degeneration, as the endplate became progressively more porous with age and degeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
New imaging technologies in the diagnosis of osteoporosis
TL;DR: The goal of this review is to present imaging modalities and related analysis methods capable of assessing bone quality for improved diagnosis and care of osteoporotic individuals.
