Delayed Gadolinium Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Cartilage (dGEMRIC)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Delayed Gadolinium-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Cartilage or dGEMRIC measures the fixed-charge density and relative proteoglycan content of articular cartilage using the Spin-lattice relaxation time or T1 relaxation time.[1] Current research is investigating the clinical application of dGEMRIC as a quantitative tool for monitoring cartilage function in diseased or repair cartilage.[2]
