This study was aimed to investigate the accuracy and time saving of MRI Argus application in the assessment of cartilage volume in osteoarthritic knees. Twelve knees of patients suffering from osteoarthritis were scanned with a 1.5 T MRI using a 3D gradient echo sequence with selective water excitation. Cartilage volume of the tibial and patellar compartment was determined with a validated multiprocessing computer system (Octane Duo, Silicon Graphics, Mountain View, Calif., USA). The calculated cartilage volumes were compared to the results acquired by the Argus (Siemens Inc., Erlangen, Germany) application software using the MRI data sets. Compared to the multiprocessing computer system a time saving of at least 30 min for cartilage volume determination was achieved. The mean differences of Argus versus the multiprocessing computer system were 4.26+/-0.84 and 7.80+/-0.87% for the medial and lateral tibial plateau and 5.94+/-0.59% for the patella (no statistical significant difference; P>0.05). The applied Argus software can be used for fast and accurate determination of cartilage volume in the knee joint.
