In situ 3D quantification and high resolution 3D imaging
of the articular cartilage in a rabbit model of osteoarthritis with µCT
(EPIC-µCT) : preliminary study in situ, ex-vivo, in normal rabbit knee
joints.

In this preliminary study, the
effectiveness of the EPIC-µCT for the quantitative 3D morphometric
analysis of the rabbit knee joint is presented. This study aims to
set up and validate a protocol for 3D high resolution imaging of rabbit
knee joints based on the equilibrium partitioning of a contrast agent
with µCT (EPIC µ-CT)¹. This is a promising complementary non invasive imaging technique to monitor surface morphology, and obtain local and global 3D quantitative information of rabbit articular cartilage.
