Cystic lesions and bursae around the knee: do they matter in knee osteoarthritis?
AbstractThe cause of knee osteoarthritis (OA) and knee pain associated with OA is not well understood. Periarticular cystic lesions and bursae around the knee are among the most common morphologic features identified on MRI in the setting of OA. Despite widespread association of these lesions with knee OA and their inclusion in semiquantitative MRI scoring assessment systems for knee OA, the role that these lesions play in the development of knee pain and OA remains uncertain. In this discussion, we review the cystic lesions and bursae most commonly associated with OA of the knee, examine their relation and role in whole o...

Clinical application of ultrashort echo time (UTE) and zero echo time (ZTE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the evaluation of osteoarthritis
AbstractNovel compositional magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques have allowed for both the qualitative and quantitative assessments of tissue changes in osteoarthritis, many of which are difficult to characterize on conventional MR imaging. Ultrashort echo time (UTE) and zero echo time (ZTE) MR imaging have not been broadly implemented clinically but have several applications that leverage contrast mechanisms for morphologic evaluation of bone and soft tissue, as well as biochemical assessment in various stages of osteoarthritis progression. Many of the musculoskeletal tissues implicated in the initiation and progres...

The ultrasound assessment of osteoarthritis: the current status
AbstractTraditionally, osteoarthritis (OA) is diagnosed with the clinical examination supplemented by the conventional radiography (CR). In the research literature, the role of ultrasound (US) imaging in the diagnostics of OA has risen steadily during the last two decades. US imaging is cheap and globally widely available often already in primary healthcare. Here, we reviewed the most essential US literature focusing on OA diagnostics and progression prediction using the various search engines. Starting from the year 2000, our search provided 1 445 journal articles. After reviewing the abstracts, 89 articles were finally i...

Subchondral bone in knee osteoarthritis: bystander or treatment target?
AbstractThe subchondral bone is an important structural component of the knee joint relevant for osteoarthritis (OA) incidence and progression once disease is established. Experimental studies have demonstrated that subchondral bone changes are not simply the result of altered biomechanics, i.e., pathologic loading. In fact, subchondral bone alterations have an impact on joint homeostasis leading to articular cartilage loss already early in the disease process. This narrative review aims to summarize the available and emerging imaging techniques used to evaluate knee OA-related subchondral bone changes and their potential ...

Quantitative bone marrow lesion, meniscus, and synovitis measurement: current status
AbstractImaging plays a pivotal role in osteoarthritis research, particularly in epidemiological and clinical trials of knee osteoarthritis (KOA), with the ultimate goal being the development of an effective drug treatment for future prevention or cessation of disease. Imaging assessment methods can be semi-quantitative, quantitative, or a combination, with quantitative methods usually relying on software to assist. The software generally attempts image segmentation (outlining of relevant structures). New techniques using artificial intelligence (AI) or deep learning (DL) are currently a frequent topic of research. This re...

Muscle strength and osteoarthritis of the knee: a systematic review and meta-analysis of longitudinal studies
ConclusionLow knee extensor and flexor strength increased the risk of worsening tibiofemoral osteoarthritis. Low knee extensor strength increased the risk of worsening patellofemoral osteoarthritis. The relationship between low knee extensor strength and worsening tibiofemoral osteoarthritis may be modified by sex/gender. (Source: Skeletal Radiology)

2D versus 3D MRI of osteoarthritis in clinical practice and research
AbstractAccurately detecting and characterizing articular cartilage defects is critical in assessing patients with osteoarthritis. While radiography is the first-line imaging modality, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most accurate for the noninvasive assessment of articular cartilage. Multiple semiquantitative grading systems for cartilage lesions in MRI were developed. The Outerbridge and modified Noyes grading systems are commonly used in clinical practice and for research. Other useful grading systems were developed for research, many of which are joint-specific. Both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (...

A clinician ’s perspective on the role of imaging in knee osteoarthritis in clinical practice
AbstractKnee osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent and disabling disease. Most persons age 45 and over with chronic knee pain have OA and with characteristic history and physical findings, diagnostic imaging is usually not necessary. Further, treatment of chronic knee pain with or without evidence of OA is similar, so imaging does not usually alter therapy. The exception is atypical presentations, such as sudden onset of pain perhaps after trauma or evidence of arthritis in atypical locations elsewhere in the body. Imaging is also unnecessary to follow patients. Given the absence of treatments that slow progression, th...
