Knee osteoarthritis (OA) has to be considered a whole joint disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows superior assessment of all joint tissues that may be involved in OA, such as the subchondral bone, synovium, ligaments, and periarticular soft tissues. Reliable MRI-based scoring systems are available to assess and quantify these structures and associated pathology. Cross-sectional and longitudinal evaluation has enabled practitioners to understand their relevance in explaining pain and structural progression.
膝骨关节炎(OA)被认为是一种全关节疾病。磁共振成像(MRI)可以更好地评估可能涉及 OA 的所有关节组织,如软骨下骨、滑膜、韧带和关节周围软组织。目前已有可靠的基于 MRI 的评分系统可用于评估和量化这些结构及其相关病理。横断面和纵向评估使临床医生能够了解它们在解释疼痛和结构进展方面的相关性。
