Excerpt
In their study, Anwander and colleagues address the optimization of regions of interest (ROIs) used during advanced parametric cartilage mapping in a prospective cohort of patients diagnosed with cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). The authors examine this challenging topic by applying three different segmentation strategies: (1) Determining the mean T1ρ value of the entire hip cartilage, (2) assessing all 36 to 54 ROIs individually, and (3) defining the six large ROIs. They conclude that partitioning the cartilage into six moderately-sized regions results in high inter/intraobserver reliability, while also maintaining the ability to detect regional variations in relaxation times versus methods employing a single large ROI or 36 to 54 small ROIs. …
