## Abstract ## Objective: To evaluate the specificity of the current Fourier transform infrared imaging spectroscopy (FTβIRIS) methods for the determination of depthwise proteoglycan (PG) content in articular cartilage (AC). In addition, curve fitting was applied to study whether the specificity o

## Abstract The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the feasibility of __T__~1Ο~βweighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to quantitatively measure changes in proteoglycan content in cartilage. The __T__~1Ο~ MRI technique was implemented in an in vivo porcine animal model with rapidly induced c
## Abstract ## Purpose To quantify the distribution profile of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in articular cartilage with the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) gadolinium (Gd) contrast method (the dGEMRIC procedure in clinical MRI) and correlate with histochemical results. ## Materials and Methods Fre
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the compressionβinduced changes in the orientational characteristics in T~2~ anisotropy of articular cartilage using microscopic magnetic resonance imaging (ΞΌMRI). ## Materials and Methods Six beagle specimens were subjected to various levels of strain (0% t
