Recently, imaging of articular cartilage has been studied intensely owing to advances in surgical therapy for focal articular cartilage disease. MR imaging developments have shown clear advantages over other modalities in noninvasively detecting and grading articular cartilage defects. This report will focus on MR imaging techniques, pitfalls and limitations in detecting cartilage lesions, current therapy, and the future of articular cartilage imaging.Tuesday, 04 Mar 2003 15:35:07 GMT
