## Abstract The purpose of this pilot study was to longitudinally quantify the __T__~2~ laminar integrity of knee cartilage in a subset of subjects with osteoarthritis from the Osteoarthritis Initiative at baseline, 1βyear followβup, and 2βyear followβup. Cartilage from 13 subjects was divided into
Cartilage magnetic resonance imaging T 2 relaxation time is sensitive to hydration, collagen content, and tissue anisotropy, and a potential imaging-based biomarker for knee osteoarthritis. This longitudinal pilot study presents an improved cartilage flattening technique that facilitates texture ana
