Calcified cartilage revealed in whole joint by X-ray phase contrast imaging

Résumé

ObjectiveX-ray Phase Contrast Imaging (PCI) is an emerging modality that will be in the next few years available in a wider range of preclinical set-ups. In this study, we compare this imaging technique with conventional preclinical modalities in an osteoarthritis mouse model.MethodPhase contrast technique was performed on 6 post-mortem, monoiodoacetate-induced osteoarthritis knees and 6 control knees. The mice knees were then imaged using magnetic resonance imaging and conventional micro computed tomography. Examples of imaging surrogate markers are reported: local distances within the articular space, cartilage surface roughness, calcified cartilage thickness, number, volume and locations of osteophytes.ResultsThanks to PCI, we can show in 3D calcified cartilage without contrast agent by a non-invasive technique. The phase contrast images reveal more details than conventional imaging techniques, especially at smaller scales, with for instance a higher number of micro-calcifications detected (57, 314 and 329 for MRI, conventional micro-CT and phase contrast imaging respectively). Calcified cartilage thickness was measured with a significant difference (p ​< ​0.01) between the control (23.4 ​± ​17.2 ​μm) and the osteoarthritis induced animal (46.9 ​± ​19.0 ​μm).ConclusionsX-ray phase contrast imaging outperforms the conventional imaging modalities for assessing the different tissue types (soft and hard). This new imaging modality seems to bring new relevant surrogate markers for following-up small animal models even for low-grade osteoarthritis.
