Abstract
Imaging articular cartilage has become one of the most dynamic areas of development in musculoskeletal radiology, and over the past several years numerous advances have been made in both in vitro and in vivo imaging of this tissue. Yet, integrating these techniques into epidemiological studies and clinical trials of osteoarthritis (OA) has been surprisingly difficult and slow, particularly in light of the fact that the imaging technologies upon which these methods are based have been an integral part of day-to-day clinical practice for decades. Moreover, the role that imaging is asked to play in epidemiological studies is the same role that it currently plays in clinical practice, namely patient selection (diagnosis and staging) and monitoring disease progression and treatment response. Why should such a disparity exist between clinical practice and clinical research? Why is radiology so late to this party?
