NCT04118023

Brief Summary

The investigators propose to prospectively evaluate the accuracy of a novel 7-Tesla (7T) knee MRI protocol for the detection and grading of cartilage lesions in the knee, which is a significant limitation of current MRI techniques.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Modified Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS)

    * Modified Whole-Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS) of the knee is a validated instrument utilized to grade structural abnormalities found in MRI. * Only the cartilage sub-score of the full WORMS will be scored in the study. Cartilage will be scored on a range from 0-6 for 6 different regional subdivisions for a minimum score of 0 and maximum score of 36. A lower score is considered a better outcome, with a score of 0 equating to normal thickness and signal of cartilage.

    baseline

Study Arms (1)

7T MRI Group

Patient group that receives 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Diagnostic Test: 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging Test

Interventions

MAGNETOM Terra - 7T MRI Scanner by Siemens Healthineers. Each patient enrolled will undergo the study imaging test prior to planned diagnostic knee arthroscopy.
