Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diffusion Tensor Tractography for Early Osteoarthritis Assessment (TRACTILAGE)

July 4, 2017 updated by: University Hospital, Grenoble

Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diffusion Tensor and Knee Cartilage Tractography Reconstructions for the Study of Early Osteoarthritis

The aim of this study is the evaluation of new MRI tractography maps for early knee osteoarthritis assessment.

Study Overview

Status

Completed

Conditions

Detailed Description

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and chronic degenerative disease of the articular cartilage. Despite recent progress in the field of cartilage imaging, no routinely used clinical imaging modality has the ability to evaluate and monitor changes in cartilage degeneration.

More and more studies report the benefits of Magnetic Resonance (MR) diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in the study of early knee osteoarthritis and in particular the new MRI contrasts generating the Track Weighted Imaging (TWI) technique.

This observationnal, pilot, prospective, unrandomized and uncontrolled study aim to evaluate, for the first time, the new MRI tractography maps for the assessment of early knee osteoarthritis. This study doesn't modify the medical care of the patient.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Imaging assessment
All subject of the study have a knee osteoarthritis (OA) and are going to have a knee prosthetic surgery with cartilage excision. Imaging measurements are conducted on human cartilage samples (2 samples per patient are selected : healthy and severely degraded).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description

Time Frame: 6 months
Correlation between the average fiber lenght per voxel within a region of interest (APM maps) obtained from MRI tractography reconstructions of human cartilage and the gold standard of the arthrosis grade(OARSI).
6 months
