MR imaging is the best noninvasive method for the evaluation of articular cartilage. Recent studies have clarified the MR appearance of normal articular cartilage and proven that MR imaging can detect chondral lesions with high accuracy. Quantitative imaging holds promise for the accurate determination of cartilage volumes and thickness measurements, as well as the ability to detect early chondral degeneration and biochemical changes before gross morphologic changes occur.
磁共振成像（MR成像）是评估关节软骨的最佳无创方法。最近的研究已阐明正常关节软骨的MR表现，并证实MR成像能够高精度检测软骨损伤。定量成像有望准确测定软骨体积和厚度，以及在大体形态学改变出现之前检测早期软骨退变和生化变化的能力。
