The design of a sample rapid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acquisition protocol supporting assessment of multiple articular tissues and pathologies in knee osteoarthritis
Objective
This expert opinion paper proposes a design for a state-of-the-art magnetic resonance image (MRI) acquisition protocol for knee osteoarthritis clinical trials in early and advanced disease. Semi-quantitative and quantitative imaging endpoints are supported, partly amendable to automated analysis. Several (peri-) articular tissues and pathologies are covered, including synovitis.
Method
A PubMed literature search was conducted, with focus on the past 5 years. Further, osteoarthritis imaging experts provided input. Specific MRI sequences, orientations, spatial resolutions and parameter settings were identified to align with study goals. We strived for implementation on standard clinical scanner hardware, with a net acquisition time ≤30 min.
Results
Short- and long-term longitudinal MRIs should be obtained at ≥1.5T, if possible without hardware changes during the study. We suggest a series of gradient- and spin-echo-sequences, supporting MOAKS, quantitative analysis of cartilage morphology and T2, and non-contrast-enhanced depiction of synovitis. These sequences should be properly aligned and positioned using localizer images. One of the sequences may be repeated in each participant (re-test), optimally at baseline and follow-up, to estimate within-study precision. All images should be checked for quality and protocol-adherence as soon as possible after acquisition. Alternative approaches are suggested that expand on the structural endpoints presented.
Conclusions
We aim to bridge the gap between technical MRI acquisition guides and the wealth of imaging literature, proposing a balance between image acquisition efficiency (time), safety, and technical/methodological diversity. This approach may entertain scientific innovation on tissue structure and composition assessment in clinical trials on disease modification of knee osteoarthritis.
