Özet
We investigated for the first time zonal-dependent water distribution in articular cartilage by Raman spectroscopy (RS). We further investigated the association of histopathologic score with RS- and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based water measurements. Cadaveric human cartilage plugs (N = 16) with different osteoarthritis (OA) severity were used. Water content distribution in cartilage zones was probed using RS- and MRI-based techniques. Histopathologic scoring was performed by two independent observers blindly. Moderate associations existed between RS- and MRI-based water measurements across all cartilage zones. RS-based analysis of different water compartments helped assign the origin of the T2 signal collected from the various cartilage zones. RS-based water parameters significantly correlated with OA-severity score, whereas MRI-based water measurements did not. RS can probe different water compartments in cartilage zones and predict up to 66% of the variation observed in the histopathologic score. RS-based water measurement could be developed further to assess cartilage quality in the clinic.
