Cartilage Mapping in Hyderabad

What is Cartilage Mapping?

Cartilage Mapping is a specialized MRI technique that quantitatively assesses the biochemical properties of articular cartilage. By measuring T2 relaxation times, it provides detailed insights into the cartilage's water content and collagen fiber orientation, which are critical indicators of cartilage health.

Benefits of Cartilage Mapping

  • Early Detection: Identifies cartilage degeneration before structural changes become apparent.
  • Quantitative Analysis: Provides objective measurements of cartilage health.
  • Non-Invasive: Offers a safe and painless assessment without the need for contrast agents.
  • Guided Treatment: Assists in planning and monitoring the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.

Conditions Assessed with Cartilage Mapping

  • Early Osteoarthritis
  • Cartilage Injuries
  • Post-Traumatic Cartilage Damage
  • Monitoring Post-Surgical Cartilage Repair
