摘要: Summary Objective To assess the effects of interference screws, which are commonly used to surgically fix an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft in ACL-deficient knee, and magnetic field strength on cartilage volume thickness measurements with quantitative resonance imaging (qMRI). Methods Five cadaver knees were imaged using a cartilage-sensitive sequence (T1-weighted water-excitation, three-dimensional (3D) fast low-angle shot) 1.5T 3T scanners without screws implanted. The tibiofemoral articular was segmented reconstructed from images, made resulting 3D models. Results Although several load-bearing regions showed significant differences between magnet strengths, most no difference screw conditions. medial tibial mean decrease 5.9% 8.0% presence at 1.5T, respectively. At 7.0% 12.0%, respectively, screws. Conclusions Caution should be when interpreting particularly compartment. Additionally, qMRI not interchangeably structural changes during longitudinal studies.
