Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on using quantitative double-echo in steady-state (qDESS) mapping to analyze osteoarthritis (OA) in knees, highlighting the importance of correcting inaccuracies caused by flip angle (FA) inconsistencies during imaging.
- A pixel-wise FA correction method was proposed and validated through experiments, showing improved measurements of femoral cartilage (FC) in healthy participants.
- Results indicated that the FA correction reduced variations in knee assessments, leading to more consistent left-right symmetry and less significant linear correlations between measurements without the correction.
A 61-year-old man presented with chronic dorsal foot pain of 9 years that worsened with ambulation. Conventional diagnostic imaging and medical workup were unrevealing, and ankle arthrodesis had been recommended by an orthopedic surgeon for pain relief. Instead, the patient participated in a clinical imaging trial designed for identifying pain generators using whole-body fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI).
