    DISSERTATION INVESTIGATION OF CATIONIC CONTRAST-ENHANCED COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY FOR THE EVALUATION OF EQUINE ARTICULAR CARTILAGE Submitted by Bradley B. Nelson Department of Clinical Sciences In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2017 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Christopher E. Kawcak Co-Advisor: Laurie R. Goodrich C. Wayne McIlwraith Mark W. Grinstaff Myra F. Barrett Copyright by Bradley Bernard Nelson 2017 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT INVESTIGATION OF CATIONIC CONTRAST-ENHANCED COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY FOR THE EVALUATION OF EQUINE ARTICULAR CARTILAGE Osteoarthritis and articular cartilage injury are substantial problems in horses causing joint pain, lameness and decreased athleticism resonant of the afflictions that occur in humans. This debilitating joint disease causes progressive articular cartilage degeneration and coupled with a poor capacity to heal necessitates that articular cartilage injury is detected early before irreparable damage ensues. The use of diagnostic imaging is critical to identify and characterize articular cartilage injury, though currently available methods are unable to identify these early degenerative changes. Cationic contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) uses a cationic contrast media (CA4+) to detect the early molecular changes that occur in the extracellular matrix. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) within the extracellular matrix are important for the providing the compressive stiffness of articular cartilage and their degradation is an early event in the development of osteoarthritis. Cationic CECT imaging capitalizes on the electrostatic attraction between CA4+ and GAGs; exposing the proportional relationship between the amount of GAGs present within and the amount of CA4+ that diffuses into the tissue. The amount of CA4+ that resides in the tissue is then quantified through CECT imaging and estimates tissue integrity through nondestructive assessment.
