Figure 2From: Evaluation of radial distribution of cartilage degeneration and necessity of pre-contrast measurements using radial dGEMRIC in adults with acetabular dysplasia Radial distribution of T1 pre (A), T1 Gd (B) and ΔR1 (C) according to Tönnis grading. Compared to the Tönnis grade 0 subgroup, T1pre increased significantly in the superoanterior (p = 0.036) and posterior (p = 0.022) sub-regions in the Tönnis grade 1 subgroup and in the posterior sub-region (p = 0.001) in the Tönnis grade 2 ~ 3 subgroup; there was a significant decrease in T1Gd in the anterosuperior to superior sub-regions (p = 0.026 ~ 0.042) in the Tönnis grade 1 subgroup and a significant overall decrease (p = 0.001 ~ 0.020) in the Tönnis grade 2 ~ 3 subgroup; ΔR1 increased significantly in the anterosuperior to superoposterior (p = 0.012 ~ 0.042) and posterior (p = 0.042) sub-regions in the Tönnis grade 1 subgroup and there was a significant overall increase (p = 0.001 ~ 0.020) in the Tönnis grade 2 ~ 3 subgroup.Back to article page
