Bone imaging of knee osteoarthritis

Caption

Representative structural MRI image (PD-weighted IDEAL image, A and D), [18F]NaF PET SUV images (B and E), and PET/MR fusion images (C and F) of a healthy knee and a knee with osteoarthritis. MOAKS scoring of MR images was used to identify the size of osteophytes, bone marrow lesions and cartilage loss within various bone regions in the patella, tibia and femur. Arrows highlight bone regions with osteophytes in blue, bone marrow lesions in yellow, and cartilage loss in green.
