Weight-Bearing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for Analysis of Knee Osteoarthritis (OA)

NCT00665548 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 33

Last updated 2009-04-17

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of the study is to use different x-ray and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques to take pictures of the knee. There are two specific purposes to the study:

1. whether the different x-ray and MRI techniques will give the same or different information about the knee joint and
2. which part of the knee joint will show the biggest change using the different x-ray and MRI techniques. The study is not designed to test a hypothesis.

Conditions

Interventions

RADIATION

X-ray; magnetic resonance imaging

Knee x-rays: acquired in both a standard or weight-bearing position and in non-weight-bearing position to measure joint space width and look at signs of osteoarthritis. 3 Tesla MRI: magnetic resonance imaging of the study knee during weight-bearing conditions and traditional non-loaded condition all acquired with the same sequences.
