Cover Story: MRI is the best imaging modality for the assessment of joint cartilage statuses, but also for post-treatment evaluations. Technological advancements have led to the introduction of novel MRI techniques, sequences, and applications. An awareness of these novelties is essential, as it will allow us to walk hand in hand with new tools that can be employed in research and clinical practice. Conventional 2D and 3D sequences are now integrated with novel quantitative techniques, which are mostly used in research settings for quantitatively and non-invasively understanding morphological and ultrastructural changes in joint cartilage. These tools will enable the provision of numbers that might be used to enhance the detection of disease onset and progression, improve treatment monitoring, and ultimately contribute to more effective patient care management.

  • Jasper Nijkamp

22 July 2024

Spectral photon-counting cone-beam computed tomography (CT) imaging is challenged by individual pixel response behaviours, which lead to noisy projection images and subsequent image artefacts like rings. Existing methods to correct for this either us...
