Abstract
Purpose: Ultrasound (US) has recently emerged as a valid and reliable tool for assessing femoral articular cartilage. Previous US studies have demonstrated that individuals with knee OA exhibit thinner cartilage with greater irregularities on the cartilage borders and more irregular femoral cartilage compared to healthy age-matched controls. Similarly, US echo-intensity (EI) values for cartilage are higher in individuals with knee OA compared to healthy controls, which may reflect alterations in femoral articular cartilage, such as an increase in the relative water content of the tissue.
