Spatial and temporal evaluation of iodine uptake and radiodensity in meniscus tissue using contrast-enhanced micro-CT
This study demonstrated the utility of iodine-based CAs and micro-CT technique for visualizing and investigating the spatial and temporal iodine diffusion within the meniscal tissue of sheep and pigs. The findings of this study have important implications for using iodine-based CAs in imaging analyses of the meniscus and offer potentially valuable insights into the diffusion patterns of iodine in fibrocartilagineous tissues.
