DOI:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8034.2011.02.014.


[Abstract] The early detection of articular cartilage lesion is a difficult task. Now, MapIt shows great potential in diagnosis and therapy follow-up of cartilage damage by visualizing the change in biochemical components and collagen orientation etc. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the technique.
