OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study was to establish an MRI classification system for intervertebral
disks using axial T2 mapping, with a special focus on evaluating early degenerative …

Pain at the ulnar aspect of the wrist is a diagnostic challenge for hand surgeons and
radiologists due to the small and complex anatomical structures involved. In this article, imaging …

Background The importance of pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis (PI-LL: PI minus LL) mismatch
is emphasized in long-segment fusion for adult spinal deformity; however, there are few …

Purpose: To prospectively evaluate delayed gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR)
imaging of cartilage for assessment of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) concentration in …

Purpose To use a 3D gradient‐echo (GRE) sequence with two flip angles for delayed
gadolinium‐enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) to evaluate relative glycosaminoglycan content …

Background aims. Transplantation of synovial mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may induce
repair of cartilage defects. We transplanted synovial MSCs into cartilage defects using a …

Purpose To perform baseline T 2 mapping of the hips of healthy volunteers, focusing on
topographic variation, because no detailed study has involved hips. T 2 mapping is a …

Lumbar spondylolysis generally occurs in adolescent athletes. Bony union can be expected
with conservative treatment, however, the fracture does not heal in some cases. When the …

Ribosome collisions are recognized by E3 ubiquitin ligase Hel2/ZNF598, leading to RQC (ribosome-associated
quality control) and to endonucleolytic cleavage and degradation of the …

Objective: Anecdotal evidence suggests that MRI frequently underestimates the size of cartilage
defects when compared with final lesion size after debridement of all degenerated tissue…
