Abstract：Synchrotron radiation phase contrast imaging (PCI) is a new imaging method in recent years, which has high brightness, resolution, and coherence. PCI could detect articular cartilage histological structure noninvasively. The early osteoarthritis appearances, such as surface fibrosis or small cracks, could be detected. PCI has important implications in the early intervention and treatment of disease. The principles of PCI technique, basic research and clinical progress were reviewed in this article.
