R1 relaxation rate measurements were made before and 2 hours after intravenous administration of Gd-DTPA2-. No correlation could be found between the GAG concentration of reparative cartilage evaluated by post-contrast imaging and that evaluated by High Performace Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). However, the GAG concentration of reparative cartilage evaluated by the difference between R1 before and after contrast administration is correlated with that evaluated by HPLC. Both pre-contrast and post-contrast images are indispensable for evaluation of the GAG concentration of reparative cartilage after ACI with dGEMRIC., 12th Scientific Meeting and Exhibition}, title = {dGEMRIC for Evaluation of Reparative Cartilage after Autologous Chondrocytes Implantation}, year = {2004} }
