3D patellar shape is associated with radiological and clinical signs of patellofemoral osteoarthritis

Objective: To examine the association between 3D patellar shape and 1) isolated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA), 2) the morphological features of PFOA, and 3) the clinical symptoms of PFOA. Design: MRI data from 66 women with isolated MRI-based PFOA and 66 age- and BMI-matched healthy women were...

Rapid Whole-Knee Quantification of Cartilage Using T ₁, T ₂ ^∗, and T _RAFF2 Mapping With Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting

Objective: Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) holds great promise for the early detection of cartilage deterioration. Here, a Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) framework is proposed for comprehensive and rapid quantification of T ₁, T ₂ ^∗, and T _RAFF2 with whole-knee coverage....

Software-defined testbed for next generation navigation transponders

This paper presents a software-defined testbed to perform hardware-in-The-loop test of miniaturized coherent transponders. Such a setup has been designed to minimize the access threshold for future users, heavily relying on available open source applications and commercial hardware, targeting future coherent transponders for interplanetary...

Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI of the patellar bone: How to quantify perfusion

Purpose: To identify the optimal combination of pharmacokinetic model and arterial input function (AIF) for quantitative analysis of blood perfusion in the patellar bone using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). Materials and Methods: This method design study used a random subset of five control subjects from an...

Blood perfusion of patellar bone measured by dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI in patients with patellofemoral pain: A case–control study

Background: Altered perfusion might play an important role in the pathophysiology of patellofemoral pain (PFP), a common knee complaint with unclear pathophysiology. Purpose: To investigate differences in dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI perfusion parameters between patients with PFP and healthy control subjects. Population/Subjects...

Teaching sustainability to a broad audience through an entertainment game – The effect of Catan: Oil Springs

In order to attain a truly sustainable society it is necessary for people to make ‘the sustainable choice’ in daily life, business and governance. Instrumental in increasing the awareness and understanding about sustainability issues and improving people's behaviour regarding sustainability issues is sustainability education. However,...

Delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) shows no change in cartilage structural composition after viscosupplementation in patients with early-stage knee osteoarthritis

Gebiedsafspraken: Opereren in een herstructureringsnetwerk in Hordijkerveld en de Transformatiezone in Pendrecht

Corporaties hebben bij het uitvoeren van stedelijke vernieuwingstaken te maken met een netwerk van betrokken organisaties. Het functioneren daarvan en de rol van de gebiedsafspraken en het masterplan hierin vormen de kern van dit onderzoeksproject. Zij worden vanuit de bestuurskundige netwerkbenadering en vanuit de praktijk bestudeerd. Aangezien...
