## Abstract Early degeneration of cartilage is accompanied by a loss of proteoglycans and consequent changes in the content of water. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cannot reliably detect this change, since the relaxation properties of the cartilage are dominated by its collagen cont

## Abstract The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the feasibility of __T__~1ρ~‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to quantitatively measure changes in proteoglycan content in cartilage. The __T__~1ρ~ MRI technique was implemented in an in vivo porcine animal model with rapidly induced c
Over the past decade, a number of interventions for durable cartilage repair have emerged. Magnetic resonance (MR) tomography is an excellent noninvasive method for monitoring cartilage repair tissues throughout the postsurgical period. However, evaluating cartilage morphology after matrix-based aut
