Hemophilic Arthropathy

The MR findings at the examination of 16 knees in 9 hemophilic patients were reviewed. The hemophilic arthropathy was demonstrated in great detail. The state of the joint cartilage, menisci, posterior cruciate ligaments and synovial tissue could be assessed. The presence of intraarticular hemorrhage and cyst fluid in bone cavities was recorded. MRI may become a valuable tool for assessment of early treatment of hemophilic arthropathy.

Joint Assessment

Objective Automatic segmentation for biochemical cartilage evaluation holds promise for an efficient and reader-independent analysis. This pilot study aims to investigate the feasibility and to compare delayed gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage (dGEMRIC) hip joint assessment with manual segmentation of acetabular and femoral head cartilage and dGEMRIC hip joint assessment using automatic surface and volume processing software at 3 Tesla. Design Three-dimensional (3D) dGEMRIC data sets of 6 patients with hip-related pathology were assessed (1) manually including multiplanar image reformatting and regions of interest (ROI) analysis and (2) automated by using a combined surface and volume processing software. For both techniques, T1Gd values were obtained in acetabular and femoral head cartilage at 7 regions (anterior, anterior-superior, superior-anterior, superior, superior-posterior, posterior-superior, and posterior) in central and peripheral portions. Correlation between both techniques was calculated utilizing Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. Results A high correlation between both techniques was observed for acetabular (ρ = 0.897; P < 0.001) and femoral head (ρ = 0.894; P < 0.001) cartilage in all analyzed regions of the hip joint (ρ between 0.755 and 0.955; P < 0.001). Conclusions Automatic cartilage segmentation with dGEMRIC assessment for hip joint cartilage evaluation seems feasible providing high to excellent correlation with manually performed ROI analysis. This technique is feasible for an objective, reader-independant and reliable assessment of biochemical cartilage status.

Joint Preservation

With the increasing advances in hip joint preservation surgery, accurate diagnosis and assessment of femoral head and acetabular cartilage status is becoming increasingly important. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the hip does present technical difficulties. The fairly thin cartilage lining necessitates high image resolution and high contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). With MR arthrography (MRA) using intraarticular injected gadolinium, labral tears and cartilage clefts may be better identified through the contrast medium filling into the clefts. However, the ability of MRA to detect varying grades of cartilage damage is fairly limited and early histological and biochemical changes in the beginning of osteoarthritis (OA) cannot be accurately delineated. Traditional MRI thus lacks the ability to analyze the biological status of cartilage degeneration. The technique of delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) is sensitive to the charge density of cartilage contributed by glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are lost early in the process of OA. Therefore, the dGEMRIC technique has a potential to detect early cartilage damage that is obviously critical for decision-making regarding time and extent of intervention for joint-preservation. In the last decade, cartilage imaging with dGEMRIC has been established as an accurate and reliable tool for assessment of cartilage status in the knee and hip joint. This review outlines the current status of dGEMRIC for assessment of hip joint cartilage. Practical modifications of the standard technique including three-dimensional (3D) dGEMRIC and dGEMRIC after intra-articular gadolinium instead of iv-dGEMRIC will also be addressed.

The urgency of the problem of endocrine ophthalmopathy (EOP) is currently in no doubt. This is due to the fact that relatively recently methods of objective assessment of the state of the eyeball and orbital tissues using ultrasound (ultrasound), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have appeared. At the same time, the etiology and pathogenesis of EOP are not well understood, which undoubtedly affects the validity and effectiveness of various treatment methods.
