Small animal model of osteoarthritis (OA) models do not always mimic with adequacy human disease. Moreover, despite superior tissue contrast and sensitivity to cartilage tissue structure, spatial resolution is limited compared to CT scanner and an accurate determination of cartilage morphology is challenging due to the small size of rodent joints. In the contrary, OA that closely resembles to the human condition occurs naturally in primate. In this context, the aim of this work was (i) to develop a dedicated protocol for knee joint examination of cynomolgus primates at 1.5T and with -CT arthroscanner (CTA); (ii) to compare morphological parameters assessed based on MRI and CTA acquisitions on a group of 10 old primates with spontaneous OA.
