IVIM parameters within T2FS-hyperintense infrapatellar
fat pad regions in patients with osteoarthritis suggest an inflammatory
pathogenesis in osteoarthritis.
Figure.
A-C: A 62 years old female patient with OA, K/L score=1, VAS=15, WOMAC= 60.
Representative sagital images T2FS (A), IVIM (B), and pseudo-color map of the
IVIM (C). The ROI was drawn in the IPFP without T2FS-hyperintense regions in
IVIM map. D-F: A 66 years old female patient with OA, K/L score =2, VAS= 22,
WOMAC=79. Red arrow indicated T2FS-hyperintense region within IPFP on T2 map(D)
and pseudo-color map of the IVIM (F), and high perfusion were depicted in red
(F). The ROI was drawn in the T2FS-hyperintense region in IVIM map (E).
