Article Synopsis
- - The article outlines a proposed MRI acquisition protocol for clinical trials involving knee osteoarthritis, focusing on both early and advanced stages of the disease while supporting automated data analysis for specific imaging endpoints.
- - A comprehensive literature review and expert input were utilized to determine optimal MRI techniques, ensuring that the protocols can be executed within 30 minutes on standard clinical equipment.
- - The authors emphasize the importance of acquiring high-quality, longitudinal MRIs that include specific sequences for analyzing cartilage and synovitis, aiming to enhance scientific research in disease progression and treatment efficacy.
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cartilage transverse relaxation time (T2) reflects cartilage composition, mechanical properties, and early osteoarthritis (OA). T2 analysis requires cartilage segmentation. In this study, we clinically validate fully automated T2 analysis at 1.

Purpose: To assess long-term alterations in lower limb mechanics in patients after PCLR.
Purpose: This study assessed the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions/lockdowns on physical activity levels, body mass, quadriceps strength, and gait biomechanics over 18 months.
Methods: Ten healthy men were assessed at baseline (~14 wk before first lockdown) and 17.9 ± 0.
