Optimization of High-Frequency Ultrasound Imaging to Detect Incremental Changes in Mineral Content at the Cartilage–Bone Interface Ex Vivo by Akshay Charan, Parag V. Chitnis, Caroline D. Hoemann

“…(1) Background: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the whole joint marked by cartilage–bone interface (CBI) remodeling, but methods to monitor subtle changes in mineralization are lacking. We optimized a non-destructive ultrasound imaging method to monitor incremental shifts in mineralization, using brief decalcification as a mimetic of CBI remodeling. (2) Methods: We used a 35-MHz transducer to scan 3 mm diameter bovine osteochondral explants wrapped with parafilm to produce surface-directed decalcification and dedicated 3D-printed holders to maintain sample orientation. …”
