Imaging of cartilage in the athlete.

摘要: Since the development of radiography, we have been able to visualize osseous alterations related arthritis. These include productive changes, such as osteophyte formation, sclerosis, and buttressing, well erosive changes subchondral cyst formation. However, because cartilage is radiolucent, it not directly visible by either radiography or computed tomography. With careful attention technique, both hyaline fibrocartilage can be visualized magnetic resonance imaging.
