Abstract/OtherAbstract:

With major technological advances and application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to large longitudinal osteoarthritis (OA) studies the role of imaging has become increasingly important for OA research over the last years. Currently, radiography, MRI and ultrasound are the most established imaging tools applied in a research setting. MRI assessment of OA features can be morphologic, compositional and can be applied in non-loaded and loaded conditions. Morphologic assessment includes semiquantitative and quantitative analyses. Novel semiquantitative scoring methods for knee, hip and hand OA using MRI were introduced. A series of key reports were published this year, reviewing the importance of radiography and MRI as a research tool. Although radiography is insensitive for the detection of OA-related structural pathology when compared to MRI, it still has been widely used for subject inclusion in observational and interventional studies due also to a straight forward disease definition that was established more than 50years ago. In an attempt to generate an MRI-based definition of structural disease, a Delphi exercise was performed to develop a testable MRI definition of structural OA. This presentation reviews publications related to imaging of OA, published in English between September 2010 and October 2011, excluding animal studies or in vitro data. This is not a systematic or comprehensive review and the selection of papers included is based on the expert opinions of the presenter, from a musculoskeletal radiologist's perspective. |
