Que nous apporte l’IRM dans l’arthrose (diagnostic, pronostic, traitement) ? Focus sur le genou arthrosique

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most widespread rheumatism, involving up to 15 % of the adult population. The prevalence of osteoarthritis is increasing due to the aging of the population and the increasing incidence of obesity. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides an incomparable non-invasive evaluation of all joint structures. MRI is currently considered to be the most promising imaging modality for OA research providing a better understanding of the evolutionary processes and a more detailed analysis of the progression of OA disease. MRI imaging techniques, particularly via artificial intelligence, continue to step forward and will likely play a major role in the development of future OA therapies.
