Nondestructive assessment of sGAG content and distribution in normal and degraded rat articular cartilage via EPIC-microCT.
Osteoarthritis Cartilage. 2010; (1): 65-72
The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of quantifying the Equilibrium Partitioning of an Ionic Contrast agent via Microcomputed Tomography (EPIC-microCT) to nondestructively assess sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) content and distribution in rat articular cartilage ex vivo, and in doing so to establish a paradigm for extension of this technique to other small animal models.
