Quantitative T2 Mapping of Knee Cartilage: Differentiation of Healthy Control Cartilage and Cartilage Repair Tissue in the Knee with Unloading—Initial Results

Abstract

Our results suggest that T2 relaxation can be used to assess early and late unloading values of articular cartilage in a clinical setting and that the time point of the quantitative T2 measurement affects the differentiation between native and abnormal articular cartilage. (c) RSNA, 2010.
