Attention must be paid to minimize the intra-articular water pressure during and after the procedure of arthroscope-guided radiofrequency thermoablation.
T2 has been reported to reflect the collagen fiber direction and articular cartilage water content.
The diffusion of water in articular cartilage reflects the biochemical structure and architecture of the tissue.
The diffusion of water in articular cartilage reflects the bio-chemical structure and architecture of the tissue.
Delayed arthrography, either by means of radiography, computed tomography, or MRI, 1 2 h after intra-articular injection of water-soluble contrast agent, improves sensitivity of imaging in the demonstration of a cyst-joint communication, detectable in less than 50%% on standard US or MRI [1].
This presentation will review our research over the past 10 years on modeling of various key phenomena relevant to the cryopreservation of articular cartilage including solution thermodynamics; water transport; and the transport, toxicity, and vitrifiability of cryoprotectants.
Two types of water exist in articular cartilage, i.e. free water and bound water.
40-minute dehydration induced water loss in articular cartilage.
Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) can probe water mobility in articular cartilage [ 2, 32, 127, 128].
The ECM of articular cartilage principally consists of water, type II collagen and aggregated proteoglycan molecules.
The primary components of articular cartilage and menisci are water, type II collagen, and proteoglycans.
