Popis: In this chapter we revisit the experimental basis supporting the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose cartilage degeneration. We include those MRI parameters that are measured in vivo on clinical scanners (Chapter 23). Clinical MRI can detect severe damage with high accuracy (91%), but provides only moderate accuracy (76.7%) in detecting early damage. MRI measurements of cartilage thickness and volume are accurate (
