MRI spots osteoarthritic knee cartilage deformation in women
By Rebekah Moan
Osteoarthritic cartilage has a different mechanical behavior than healthy cartilage, which may be identified by 3-tesla MRI, according to researchers. In a new study, osteoarthritic knee cartilage displayed greater deformation upon loading than healthy cartilage, suggesting osteoarthritis affects the mechanical properties of cartilage.

3T MRI helps confirm age of asylum seekers and sports stars
By Philip Ward
MRI is significantly better than plain radiography for imaging the medial extremity of the clavicle in forensic bone age estimation. In cases where accuracy is the primary concern, MRI should be used, but from a practical point of view, only in cases where radiography is inconclusive.

Danish firm Visiana tackles bone age evaluation
By Erik L. Ridley
Bone age has typically been determined manually from hand x-rays by radiologists or pediatric endocrinologists, but this method is subjective and prone to reader variability. Danish company Visiana believes its automatic bone age assessment software can do the job better and faster.

Hip arthritis needn't mean hip replacement
By Reuters Health
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Although hip osteoarthritis (OA) increases the risk of total hip replacement, only a few patients ultimately progress to that point, a new report shows. Researchers from Iceland evaluated a total of 2,953 hips, measuring minimal joint space and grading each hip for radiographic OA.
