Novel micro-MRI approach for subchondral trabecular bone analysis in patients with hip osteoarthritis is comparable to micro-CT approach

AIM: To test the agreement between a newly developed micro-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis of the subchondral bone and the micro-computed tomography (CT) approach. METHODS: Samples obtained from 10 patients with osteoarthritis undergoing total hip arthroplasty were scanned with a 7.0 T mic...

Sumario:AIM: To test the agreement between a newly developed micro-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis of the subchondral bone and the micro-computed tomography (CT) approach. METHODS: Samples obtained from 10 patients with osteoarthritis undergoing total hip arthroplasty were scanned with a 7.0 T micro-MRI. Proton density-weighted images and proton density-weighted images with fat suppression were obtained. The results were validated with a micro-CT device. Micro-MRI and micro-CT scans of the same sample were aligned, and regions of interest were delineated on equal areas of the sample. Bone volume fraction was calculated by using in-house plugins. The agreement between the methods was tested with Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS: The agreement between the methods was good, with average difference of 2.167%. The differences between the methods were not significant (P = 0.272, t test). CONCLUSION: The novel micro-MRI approach could be used for subchondral bone analysis. With further optimization for clinical MRI machines, the approach can be also used in the diagnostics of hip osteoarthritis.
