Researchers combine technologies to image cartilage

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Researchers have combined two technologies to obtain high-resolution images of cartilage, an achievement that could make possible improved detection and tracking of osteoarthritis. Microcomputed tomography previously has been ineffective for imaging soft tissue such as cartilage. By introducing Hexabrix -- an x-ray-absorbing contrast agent with a negative charge -- into the tissue and then performing the scan, researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta obtained detailed images that show the composition of the connective tissue. The cartilage-imaging technique shows...Read full article
