Objective Aim of this study was, to demonstrate the feasibility of high-resolution grating-
based X-ray phase-contrast computed tomography (PCCT) for quantitative assessment of …

Quantification of deformation behavior of articular cartilage (AC) is crucial for understanding
its mechanical function and response to mechanical stimuli. Here, we explored whether …

Abstract Objective X-ray Phase Contrast Imaging (PCI) is an emerging modality that will be
in the next few years available in a wider range of preclinical set-ups. In this study, we …

Background The evolution of cartilage degeneration is still not fully understood, partly due to
its thinness, low radio-opacity and therefore lack of adequately resolving imaging …

OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study was to quantitatively assess hyaline cartilage and
subchondral bone conditions in a fully preserved cadaveric human knee joint using high …

Objectives: Early research in phase-contrast imaging indicates that substantial higher soft-
tissue contrast resolution can be obtained compared with conventional absorption …

Murine models for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) research can provide important insights for
understanding RA pathogenesis and evaluating the efficacy of novel treatments. However …

Accurate evaluation of morphological changes in articular cartilage are necessary for early
detection of osteoarthritis (OA). 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has highly sensitive …

Objectives This study evaluates high-resolution tomographic x-ray phase-contrast imaging
in whole human knee joints for the depiction of soft tissue with emphasis on hyaline …

Visualization of ex vivo human patellar cartilage matrix through the phase contrast imaging
X-ray computed tomography (PCI-CT) has been previously demonstrated. Such studies …
