KEY TERMS: Multicontrast and Multiparametric, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Osteoarthritis, Functional Biomechanical Imaging, Knee Joint Degeneration What is known about the subject: dualMRI has been used to quantify strains in a healthy human population in vivo and in cartilage explant models. Previously, OA severity, as determined by histology, has been positively correlated to increased shear and transverse strains in cartilage explants. What this study adds to existing knowledge: This is the first in vivo use of dualMRI in a participant demographic post-ACL reconstruction and at risk for developing osteoarthritis...
