Molecular and Structural Imaging in Surgically Induced Murine Osteoarthritis

from Osteoarthritis and Cartilage

Molecular and Structural Imaging in Surgically Induced Murine Osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Preclinical imaging in osteoarthritis is a rapidly growing area with three principal objectives: To provide rapid, sensitive tools to monitor the course of experimental OA longitudinally; to describe the temporal relationship between tissue-specific pathologies over the course of disease; and to use molecular probes to measure disease activity in vivo. Research in this area can be broadly divided into those techniques that monitor structural changes in tissues (microCT, microMRI, ultrasound) and those that detect molecular disease activity (positron emission tomography (PET), optical and optoacoustic imaging).
