@dr_anastasia The emphasis on catching cartilage changes while the disease is still modifiable is the part that matters most clinically, current imaging mostly confirms damage that's already irreversible, so a protocol that can detect biochemical shifts before structural collapse genuinely changes the treatment window rather than just improving diagnosis of what's already too late to reverse. Pairing contrast-agent uptake kinetics with correlation against arthroscopic findings is a smart way to ground quantitative imaging in actual tissue reality rather than just validating one imaging method against another. Looking forward to seeing how the diagnostic platform connects to the regenerative biomaterials stage, that integration from early detection straight through to targeted cartilage repair is where this could genuinely shift clinical practice. Would love to see this project get the support and attention it deserves.
