1 Therefore, this study evaluated whether contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) attenuation and contrast agent flux using the iodinated contrast agents CA4+ and ioxaglate correlate with the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content/distribution and water content in human menisci. Glycosaminoglycans carbonic anhydrase 4 Homo sapiens
2 The optimal ioxaglate and CA4+ contrast agent concentrations for mapping meniscal GAG distribution were qualitatively determined by comparison of CECT color maps with Safranin-O stained histological sections. Glycosaminoglycans carbonic anhydrase 4 Homo sapiens
3 The optimal concentrations for GAG depiction for ioxaglate and CA4+ were >=80 and 12 mgI/ml, respectively. Glycosaminoglycans carbonic anhydrase 4 Homo sapiens
