Abstract
Conclusions: The quantitative features of 3D WE DESS images are different between subjects with pain and those that will not develop symptomatic pain. Furthermore, the lack of signal contrast between cartilage and surrounding tissue as well as the presence of abnormal cartilage thickness in the patella and abnormal bone shape (curvature) are strong predictors the imminent onset of frequent knee pain. Based on these results it is possible to use qMRI to select patients that will develop chronic pain in the next year.
