Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies of knee joint under mechanical loading: Review.Osteoarthritis (OA) is a very common disease that affects the human knee joint, particularly the articular cartilage and meniscus components which are regularly under compressive mechanical loads.  The primary non-invasive approaches currently available for OA diagnosis include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which provides excellent soft tissue contrast at high spatial resolution.  MRI-based knee investigation is usually performed on joints at rest or in a non-weight-bearing condition that does not mimic the actual physiological condition of the joint.  The mechanical properties of degenerated musculoskeletal (MSK) tissues may vary markedly before any significant morphological or structural changes detectable by MRI.  This review article summarizes the large number of MRI-based investigations on knee joints under mechanical loading which have been reported in the literature including the corresponding MRI measures, the MRI-compatible devices employed, and potential challenges due to the limitations of clinical MRI sequences.
