Abstract
PURPOSE: To assess the potential clinical utility of in vivo susceptibility-weighted imaging and quantitative susceptibility mapping of growth cartilage in the juvenile human knee at 7 T. METHODS: High-resolution gradient-echo images of the knees of six healthy children and adolescents aged 6 to 15 were acquired with a 28-channel coil at 7 T. Phase images from the coils were combined using a short echo-time reference scan method (COMPOSER). RESULTS: Veins oriented perpendicular to the static B0field appeared doubled in susceptibility-weighted imaging, but not quantitative susceptibility mapping. Veins and layers in the cartilage were visible in all children up to the age of 13. CONCLUSION: Phase imaging using susceptibility-weighted imaging and quantitative susceptibility mapping allows the in vivo visualization of veins and layers in human growth cartilage.
