This review addresses the use of ultrasound (US) as an imaging technique for the
evaluation and monitoring of the osteoarthritic joint. US complements both the clinical …

Ultrasound (US) is a valuable tool for imaging musculoskeletal changes in osteoarthritis. It
shows early and late findings related to inflammation and structural damage. Sonography is …

A preliminary investigation into the diagnostic potential of an infrared fiber optic probe (IFOP)
for evaluating degenerative human articular cartilage is described. Twelve arthritic human …

The unknown and variable speed of sound may impair accuracy of the acoustic
measurement of cartilage properties. In this study, relationships between the speed of sound …

Ultrasound (US) has been suggested as a means for the quantitative detection of early
osteoarthrotic changes in articular cartilage. In this study, the ability of quantitative US 2-D …

Objective: We have previously developed a handheld ultrasound indentation instrument for
the diagnosis of cartilage degeneration. The instrument has been demonstrated to be …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent cause of joint algesia, loss of function, and disability in
adults, with cartilage injury being its core pathological manifestation. Since cartilage …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common joint diseases among adults, and its early
detection is still not possible. In this study, high-frequency ultrasound and ultrasound …

High-frequency ultrasound (US) measurements may provide means for the quantification of
articular cartilage quality. Bovine patellar cartilage samples (n= 32) at various degenerative …

Quantitative ultrasound imaging (QUI) can be used to evaluate the integrity of articular
cartilage and for diagnosing the early signs of osteoarthritis (OA). In this study, we applied a …
