## Abstract ## Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility of delayed gadolinium‐enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cartilage (dGEMRIC) in the ankle at 3 T and to obtain preliminary data on matrix associated autologous chondrocyte (MACI) repair tissue. ## Materials and Methods: A 3D dual f
Our purpose was to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of a gradient-echo sequence optimized for cartilage imaging in patellar cartilage abnormalities and to compare it to a standard turbo-spin-echo sequence. Fifty-eight consecutive patients who underwent, within 3 months both MRI and arthroscopy or su
## Abstract ## Purpose To use a 3D gradient‐echo (GRE) sequence with two flip angles for delayed gadolinium‐enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC) to evaluate relative glycosaminoglycan content of repair tissue after matrix‐associated autologous chondrocyte transplantation (MACT). ## Materials and M
