Bicomponent Mapping of Cortical Bone Using a New Interleaved UTE Imaging Sequence
ABSTRACT Purpose Ultrashort echo time (UTE) MRI enables direct imaging of cortical bone and quantification of its water compartments via bicomponent T2* modeling. However, conventional approaches require multiple separate dual‐echo scans due to limitations in gradient power. This approach is prone to inter‐scan inconsistencies such as motion and signal

Equine experimental lameness induction models
Summary Equine lameness due to musculoskeletal injury remains a common and significant cause of decreased performance. While our understanding and management of lameness have improved with advanced imaging, as well as diagnostic and therapeutic progression, a need for experimental equine models of lameness remains.

Versican splice variant messenger RNA expression in normal human Achilles tendon and tendinopathies [PDF]
Versican is the principal large proteoglycan expressed in mid-tendon, but its role in tendon pathology is unknown. Our objective was to define the expression of versican isoform splice variant messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) in normal Achilles tendons,
