Biochemical assessment is critical for early detection
and staging of hip articular cartilage damage, as well
as to predict risk for progression. We employed the
principles of magnetic resonance fingerprinting to
explore the feasibility of simultaneous T1 and T2
mapping in clinically feasible scan times. In addition
to a PD image, our method quantified T1 and T2 with a
0.8x0.8 mm2 in-plane resolution (scan time of 1:20 min
per slice). By enabling a fast comprehensive
morphological and biochemical assessment, we hope to
improve assessment and staging of cartilage damage,
predict risk for progression and impact patient
management decisions.
