Major Research Theme
|
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has tremendous potential for evaluation of arthritic diseases due to its ability to directly image the soft tissues of the joint. The overall goal of our research is to extend the capabilities of MRI to directly evaluate the biophysical and biomechanical properties of the joint tissues, with particular emphasis on the cartilage. One of the main constituents of cartilage which is lost in early arthritic disease, and which one would like to replace as part of therapeutic interventions, is the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) component. We have been developing a technique to directly image the GAG component in cartilage; this technique is now referred to as dGEMRIC (delayed Gadolinium Enhanced MRI of Cartilage). |
