T<sub>1</sub>ρ and T<sub>2</sub> mapping for the determination of articular cartilage denaturalization with osteonecrosis of the femoral head: A prospective controlled trial
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background In the future, biochemical MRI might provide a valuable noninvasive quantitative analysis of the biochemical composition of cartilage in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Purpose To investigate the diagnostic performance of T 1 ρ and T 2 mapping in cartilage denaturalization with ONFH and to determine the correlation between T 1 ρ and T 2 mapping and the Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stage. Study Type Prospective. Subjects Forty‐seven patients with ONFH (stage I to III according to the ARCO criteria) and 24 volunteers (control group) were recruited for the prospective study. Sequence Conventional MRI, multiple echo recalled gradient echo (MERGE), and T 1 ρ and T 2 mapping sequences. Assessment Pseudocolor images and MERGE images were combined in the AW4.5 workstation. The region of interest (ROI) of the hip cartilage was 4–6 mm². The sagittal T 1 ρ and T 2 mapping values were calculated by the two first authors. Statistical Tests One‐way analysis of variance (ANOVA), LSD t ‐tests, Pearson correlation analysis, and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves. The significance level was set at P < 0.05. Results The T 1 ρ and T 2 mapping values of the ONFH group were significantly higher than the values of the control group ( P = 0.000). Regarding the assessment of the severity of ARCO staging, both T 1 ρ ( r = 0.66, P = 0.004) and T 2 mapping ( r = 0.501, P = 0.002) were positively associated with disease severity. The T 1 ρ values were positively correlated with the T 2 mapping values ( r = 0.381, P = 0.000). The areas under the curve (AUC) for the T 1 ρ and T 2 mapping values were 0.822 and 0.791, respectively. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 72.34% and 70.83% for T 1 ρ mapping and 72.34% and 58.33%, respectively, for T 2 mapping. Data Conclusion Both T 1 ρ and T 2 mapping performed well in diagnosing the cartilage denaturalization in ARCO stage I‐III ONFH patients. T 1 ρ mapping had a higher diagnostic sensitivity and specificity than T 2 mapping. Level of Evidence: 2 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;49:760–767.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
