Relationship between magnetization transfer ratio and axial compressive strain in tibiofemoral articular cartilage
Purpose
The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) and strain in ex vivo bovine cartilage using 9.4T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to compare this relationship to the relationship between T2 and strain.
Methods
A previously designed custom electropneumatic loading device was used to compress together osteochondral blocks of bovine femoral and tibial cartilage and bone within a 9.4T Bruker MRI scanner. Stepwise loads were applied to compress cartilage to targets of 10%, 20% and 30% strain. Images were acquired for unloaded cartilage and after each load had been held constant for 20 min to minimize creep effects. A custom algorithm was used to quantify T2 and MTR (average, by depth, and column wise) in the region of contact, and to calculate axial cartilage strain. Repeated measures correlation was used to investigate potential correlations between MTR and strain, and T2 and strain.
Results
Mean MTR vs strain correlations were rrm = −0.90 (CI = −0.96 to −0.75) in the tibia and rrm = −0.70 (CI = −0.87 to −0.35) in the femur. Mean T2 vs strain correlations were rrm = −0.84 (CI = −0.94 to −0.59) in the tibia and rrm = −0.11 (CI = −0.57 to 0.41) in the femur. Column-wise analyses produced negligible or weak correlations (−0.07 to −0.34 for T2 and MTR).
Conclusions
MTR increases with strain in the region of contact, and MTR is more strongly correlated to strain than T2. MTR shows promise as a surrogate measure of strain, especially when averaged over the region of contact.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials is concerned with the mechanical deformation, damage and failure under applied forces, of biological material (at the tissue, cellular and molecular levels) and of biomaterials, i.e. those materials which are designed to mimic or replace biological materials.
The primary focus of the journal is the synthesis of materials science, biology, and medical and dental science. Reports of fundamental scientific investigations are welcome, as are articles concerned with the practical application of materials in medical devices. Both experimental and theoretical work is of interest; theoretical papers will normally include comparison of predictions with experimental data, though we recognize that this may not always be appropriate. The journal also publishes technical notes concerned with emerging experimental or theoretical techniques, letters to the editor and, by invitation, review articles and papers describing existing techniques for the benefit of an interdisciplinary readership.
