Advances in surgical and pharmacologic techniques for treating and preventing chondral abnormalities are creating a demand for an accurate, noninvasive imaging method to evaluate articular cartilage. The most promising technique is MR imaging, but its exact role in this evaluation remains undefined. This article reviews the MR appearance of normal and abnormal articular cartilage and the various pulse sequences that can be used to evaluate chondral lesions. It also briefly discusses possible future directions for MR imaging of articular cartilage.
治疗和预防软骨异常的手术及药物技术进展，使得人们对一种准确、无创的成像方法来评估关节软骨产生了需求。最具前景的技术是磁共振成像（MR成像），但其在该评估中的确切作用仍不明确。本文回顾了正常及异常关节软骨的MR表现，以及可用于评估软骨损伤的各种脉冲序列。还简要讨论了关节软骨MR成像未来可能的发展方向。
