โœฆ Synopsis

Abstract

Triple quantum (TQ) sodium imaging of bovine articular cartilage is presented. True triple quantum imaging sequence was modified to incorporate asymmetric echo acquisition. Triple quantum signal expression in the presence of residual quadrupolar interaction is presented. The filtering capability of the sequence is first demonstrated on an agarose phantom. Both single and triple quantum images of articular cartilage are compared. The TQ image shows nonโ€zero signal intensity solely from cartilage, indicating complete suppression of signals from bone marrow and saline. The advantages of TQ imaging of articular cartilage, its feasibility in in vivo situations and further improvements in SNR are described.

In this work, we present the first triple quantum filtered (TQF) sodium MR images of the human knee joint in vivo. A 3D TQF data set of 16 slices was obtained in 20 min using a TQF pulse sequence preencoded to a twisted projection imaging readout. Images clearly demarcate patellar cartilage and also

## Abstract The sodium present in articular cartilage interacts with the negatively charged proteoglycan aggregates in the matrix of the cartilage. Sodium images of short echo time may be useful for detecting changes that occur in the proteoglycan content of the cartilage. Such changes are indicati

The effects of mechanical compression on the multiple quantum coherences generated from sodium ions in articular cartilage were investigated. Cartilage samples obtained from bovine patellae were studied during compression at 0.7 MPa (100 psi) for 1 hour. The double quantum filtered spectra showed ma

## Abstract Preliminary results from __in vivo__ sodium MRI of human patellar articular cartilage are presented. Sodium images generated of an __in vitro__ bovine patella clearly distinguish the region of proteoglycan depletion from the region of healthy cartilage. This provides the first evidence
