Osteoarthritis and Cartilage , 09/18/09
Roemer FW et al. – Semiquantitative whole organ scoring can be performed using a 1.0 T peripheral scanner with a moderate to high degree of agreement and accuracy compared to SQ assessment using a 1.5 T whole body scanner.
Methods- A sample of 53 knees was selected in which MRI was performed on a 1.0 T extremity system as well as on a 1.5 T scanner applying a comparable sequence protocol
- MRIs were read according to the Whole Organ Magnetic Resonance Imaging Score (WORMS) score
- Agreement (w-kappa) for 7 main WORMS features (cartilage, bone marrow lesions, osteophytes, meniscal damage and extrusion, synovitis, effusion) ranged between 0.54 (synovitis) and 0.75 (cartilage)
- Sensitivity ranged between 68.1% (meniscal damage) and 88.1% (effusion)
- Specificity ranged between 63.6% (effusion) and 96.4% (bone marrow lesions)
- Although the overall rate of non-readable features was very low, it was higher for the 1.0 T system (1.9% vs 0.2%)
