<h4>Background</h4>Current methods to predict height and growth failure are imprecise. MRI measures of physeal cartilage are promising biomarkers for growth.<h4>Purpose</h4>In the physis, to assess how 3D MRI volume measurements, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) measurements (tract volume and length) correlate with growth parameters and detect differences in growth. We compared patients exposed to cis-retinoic acid, which causes physeal damage and growth failure, with normal subjects.<h4>Study ...[more]
