Delayed contrast-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) is a noninvasive technique to study cartilage glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content in vivo. This study evaluates dGEMRIC in patients with preradiographic degenerative cartilage changes. Seventeen knees in 15 patients (age 35-70) with arthroscopically v
## Abstract The delayed Gadolinium Enhanced MRI of Cartilage (dGEMRIC) technique has shown promising results in pilot clinical studies of early osteoarthritis. Currently, its broader acceptance is limited by the long scan time and the need for postprocessing to calculate the T1 maps. A fast T1 mapp
The macromolecular structure and mechanical properties of articular cartilage are interrelated and known to vary topographically in the human knee joint. To investigate the potential of delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC), T1, and T2 mapping to elucidate these differences, full-th
## Abstract ## Purpose To implement and validate a threeโdimensional (3D) T1 measurement technique that is suitable for delayed gadolinium (Gd)โenhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) and can be easily implemented with clinically available pulse sequences at 1.5T and 3.0T. ## Materials and Methods A
