Early Achilles Enthesis Involvement in a Murine Model of Spondyloarthropathy: Morphological Imaging with Ultrashort Echo-Time Sequences and Ultrasmall Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide (USPIO) Particle Evaluation in Macrophagic Detection

Purpose. To confirm the interest of 3-dimensional ultrashort echo-time (3D-UTE) sequences to assess morphologic aspects in normal and pathological Achilles entheses in a rat model of spondyloarthropathy (SpA) with histological correlations, in comparison with conventional RARE T2 Fat-Sat sequences,...
