About this trial

This work aims at elucidating the role of MRI complementary T2 mapping in assessment of the articular knee cartilage for improving sensitivity of detection of early stage of osteoarthritis

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

patients with clinical evidence of osteoarthritis

Disqualifiers

• contraindications for MRI such as claustrophobia, heart pacemaker and ferromagnetic implants

patients in which the misaligned images or distortions due to motion artifacts made the interpretation of the MRI unreliable.

Patients with previous knee operation

Trial population

any patient with knee pain with no history of previous lustrophobiaoperation and has no metallic element inside his body with no ca
