## Abstract Technical limitations imposed by resolution and B1 homogeneity have thus far limited quantitative in vivo T2 mapping of cartilage to the patella. The purpose of this study is to develop T2 mapping of the femoral/tibial joint and assess regional variability of cartilage T2 in the knee. Q

The macromolecular structure and mechanical properties of articular cartilage are interrelated and known to vary topographically in the human knee joint. To investigate the potential of delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC), T1, and T2 mapping to elucidate these differences, full-th
## Abstract ## Purpose To devise a method for producing in vivo MRI images of the knee under physiologically significant loading, and to compare and evaluate the changes in cartilage characteristics before and during in situ compression of the knee. ## Material and Methods A total of 26 asymptom
## 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
## Abstract ## Purpose: To examine the changes in knee cartilage T2 values over 24 months in subjects with and without risk factors for knee osteoarthritis (OA) and their association with focal knee lesions at baseline. ## Materials and Methods: Fortyβone subjects without and 101 subjects with O
