Morphological parameters were assessed on MRI and CT arthrography (CTA) acquisitions, to characterize an induced model of OA by transection of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Three groups of young four year old female primates were constituted and followed over 180 days after surgery. In vivo MR images acquired with the array coil associated with the HR-MRI protocol nicely depicted the cartilage. The cartilage thickness CTA measurements did not show any bias with respect to MRI-based cartilage thickness. Both imaging modalities showed superimposed 3D thickness distributions measurements. Mean cartilage thickness of medial tibia plateaus of the right joint were found constant for control group but decreased significantly for group with ACL transection from D15 to D90 and with intermediate values on D30 and D60.
