Comparison of compositional MRI techniques to quantify the regenerative potential of articular cartilage: a preclinical minipig model after osteochondral defect treatments with autologous mesenchymal stromal cells and unseeded scaffolds Open
As expected, dGEMRIC is well suited for monitoring cartilage regeneration. Interestingly, T2 imaging also proved to be a reliable cartilage imaging technique and thus offers a contrast agent-free alternative to the former gold s…
