Synopsis
There is a need for methods to detect early compositional changes during musculoskeletal diseases like osteoarthritis, but current diagnostic tools . Sodium (23Na) MRI enables quantification of sodium content which is correlated with cartilage health. However, several limitations preclude its widespread clinical use including long scan times and low resolution. We have developed a UTE 23Na MRI sequence with rosette acquisition capable of overcoming some of these limitations. In this study we demonstrate the feasibility of reducing our acquisition time through compressed sensing while conserving signal quality in a healthy human knee.
