Skeletal Radiol 2024; 53:1481-1494. [PMID: 38347270 DOI: 10.1007/s00256-024-04605-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2023] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the diagnostic image quality and compare the knee cartilage segmentation results using a controlled aliasing in parallel imaging results in higher acceleration (CAIPIRINHA)-accelerated 3D-dual echo steady-state (DESS) research package sequence in the knee. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 64 subjects underwent both two- and fourfold CAIPIRINHA-accelerated 3D-DESS and DESS without parallel acceleration technique of the knee on a 3.0 T system. Two musculoskeletal radiologists evaluated the images independently for image quality and diagnostic capability following randomization and anonymization. The consistency of automatic segmentation results between sequences was explored using an automatic knee cartilage segmentation research application. The descriptive statistics and inter-observer and inter-method concordance of various acceleration sequences were investigated. P values < .05 were considered significant. RESULTS For image quality evaluation, the image signal-to-noise ratio and contrast-to-noise ratio decreased with the decrease in scanning time. However, it is accompanied by the reduction of artifacts. Using 3D-DESS without parallel acceleration technique as the standard for cartilage grading diagnosisand the diagnostic agreement of two- and fourfold CAIPIRINHA-accelerated 3D-DESS was good, kappa value was 0.860 (P < .001) and 0.804 (p < 0.001), respectively. Regarding cartilage defects, the sensitivity and specificity of the twofold acceleration 3D-CAIPIRINHA-DESS were 95.56% and 97.70%, and the fourfold CAIPIRINHA-accelerated 3D-DESS were 91.49% and 97.65%, respectively. The intraclass correlation coefficients of various sequences in cartilage segmentation were almost all greater than 0.9. CONCLUSION The CAIPIRINHA-accelerated 3D-DESS sequence maintained comparable diagnostic and segmentations performance of knee cartilage after a 60% scan time reduction.

[PMID: 28405471 PMCID: PMC5372025 DOI: 10.1136/rmdopen-2016-000358] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2016] [Revised: 02/27/2017] [Accepted: 03/01/2017] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a common hip joint disease, involving loss of articular cartilage. The prevalence and prognosis of hip osteoarthritis have been difficult to determine, with various clinical and radiological methods used to derive epidemiological estimates exhibiting significant heterogeneity. MRI-based methods directly visualise hip joint cartilage, and offer potential to more reliably define presence and severity of osteoarthritis, but have been underused. We performed a systematic review of MRI-based estimates of hip articular cartilage in the general population and in patients with established osteoarthritis, using MEDLINE, EMBASE and SCOPUS current to June 2016, with search terms such as ‘hip’, ‘femoral head’, ‘cartilage’, ‘volume’, ‘thickness’, ‘MRI’, etc. Ultimately, 11 studies were found appropriate for inclusion, but they were heterogeneous in osteoarthritis assessment methodology and composition. Overall, the studies consistently demonstrate the reliability and potential clinical utility of MRI-based estimates. However, no longitudinal data or reference values for hip cartilage thickness or volume have been published, limiting the ability of MRI to define or risk-stratify hip osteoarthritis. MRI-based techniques are available to quantify articular cartilage signal, volume, thickness and defects, which could establish the sequence and rate of articular cartilage changes at the hip that yield symptomatic osteoarthritis. However, prevalence and rates of progression of hip osteoarthritis have not been established in any MRI studies in the general population. Future investigations could fill this important knowledge gap using robust MRI methods in population-based cross-sectional and longitudinal studies.
