骨关节炎，基于软骨损伤或变性，是美国致残的主要原因。在过去的几十年里，在理解软骨损伤和修复方面取得了很大的进展。磁共振（MR）成像以其独特的无创成像和表征软组织的能力，在评估软骨完整性方面显示出前景。除了标准的磁共振成像方法外，正在开发的磁共振成像对比机制可以揭示有关软骨生理和形态的详细信息。磁共振成像将在评估治疗软骨损伤和退变的成功或失败方面发挥关键作用。
Osteoarthritis, based on either cartilage injury or degeneration, is a leading cause of disability in the United States. Over the last several decades, much progress has been made in understanding cartilage injury and repair. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, with its unique ability to noninvasively image and characterize soft tissue, has shown promise in assessment of cartilage integrity. In addition to standard MR imaging methods, MR imaging contrast mechanisms under development may reveal detailed information regarding the physiology and morphology of cartilage. MR imaging will play a crucial role in assessing the success or failure of therapies addressing cartilage injury and degeneration.
