Various imaging methods have been applied to assessment of articular cartilage. These include standard radiography, arthrography, CT, CT arthrography, ultrasonography, and MR imaging. Radiography remains the initial musculoskeletal imaging method. However, it is insensitive to early stages of cartilage abnormalities. MR imaging has great potential in the assessment of articular cartilage, although high-quality scans are required because imaging signs of cartilage abnormalities may be subtle. The potential and limitations of various sequences and techniques are discussed, including MR arthrography. The role of the other imaging methods in assessment of articular cartilage appears to be limited.
多种成像方法已应用于关节软骨的评估。这些方法包括标准X线摄影、关节造影、CT、CT关节造影、超声检查和磁共振成像。X线摄影仍然是最初的肌肉骨骼成像方法。然而，它对软骨异常的早期阶段不敏感。磁共振成像在关节软骨评估方面具有很大潜力，尽管由于软骨异常的成像征象可能很细微，需要高质量的扫描。本文讨论了包括磁共振关节造影在内的各种序列和技术的潜力及局限性。其他成像方法在关节软骨评估中的作用似乎有限。
