摘要：

MRI is the most accurate noninvasive technique available for assessment of normal articular cartilage and cartilage lesions. MRI cannot only provide morphologic information about the area of damage, but can also provide unique insight into the biochemical composition of the articular cartilage. New image processing techniques such as three-dimensional mapping of cartilage thickness will help to establish automated analysis of cartilage loss. Theses techniques are ideally suited for monitoring patients who undergo treatment with new chondroregenerative drugs.
