膝骨性关节炎早期诊断的研究进展

膝骨性关节炎是常见的关节病之一,临床上典型患者的临床分期属于中晚期,因此提高对早期膝骨性关节炎的诊断尤为重要。目前临床上最常应用于诊断膝骨性关节炎的方法为磁共振检查,且随着磁共振不同序列的发展,针对关节软骨早期病变的序列正应用于临床。在膝骨性关节炎的早期诊断中,超声检查等简单实用的方法正成为一种趋势,而特异性生物标志物将成为一项热门研究。

Progress on the early diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis is one of the common type of arthropathy, the clinical stage of the typical patients belongs to the middle-late stage, so it urges to improve the early diagnosis. At present, magnetic resonance imaging is most used in clinical diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis, and with the development of different MRI sequences, the sequences of early articular cartilage lesions are used in clinic. In the early diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis, the simple and practical methods such as ultrasonography is becoming a trend, and the specific biomarkers of early knee osteoarthritis have become the hot research. This overview article outlined the methods of early diagnosis from the ultrashort echo time MRI, ultrasonography and biomarkers.
