Association between delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) and joint space narrowing and osteophytes: a cohort study in patients with partial meniscectomy with 11 years of follow-up

The current study suggests that lower T1Gd measured with dGEMRIC of medial and lateral femoral cartilage is associated with higher grade of JSN 11 years later, and medially, also with more osteophytosis.
