This is a preliminary report for the MOON multivendor multisite 10 year follow up using quantitative MR imaging techniques for patients following ACL reconstruction. Imaging protocol was harmonized between sites and T1ρ and T2 imaging sequences that were cross-validated between sites and vendors were applied. Phantom data showed excellent intra-site repeatability and small inter-site variations. Significantly elevated cartilage T1ρ and T2 were observed in operated knees compared to contralateral knees. The preliminary results demonstrated feasibility of combining multi-site large cohort study with advanced quantitative MRI, with harmonized protocols and rigorous quality control for both data acquisition and processing.
