## Abstract The maturation of pig articular cartilage was followed by ^2^H inβphase double quantum filtered (IPβDQF) spectroscopic MRI, ^1^H __T__~2~ MRI, and ^23^Na DQF and triple quantum filtered MRS. The results all lead to the conclusion that the order and density of the collagen fibers in arti

The experiments reported herein are the first MRI investigations of the orientational dependence of T(2) relaxation in articular cartilage at microscopic resolution over the 360 degrees angular space. For each of six canine cartilage specimens, 48 independent T(2)-weighted proton images were acquire
## Abstract It has been suggested that orientational changes in the collagen network of articular cartilage account for the depthwise __T__~2~ anisotropy of MRI through the magic angle effect. To investigate the relationship between laminar __T__~2~ appearance and collagen organization (anisotropy)
## Abstract Articular cartilage is critical to the normal function of diarthrodial joints. Despite the importance of the tissue and the prevalence of cartilage degeneration (e.g., osteoarthritis), the technology required to noninvasively describe nonuniform deformations throughout the volume of the
The phenomenon of "growing old" is the summation of the degenerative changes which occur in all tissues. Some tissues undergo demonstrable degeneration at earlier ages than others. The degenerative changes are grossly apparent in some tissues and afford a definite index of the structural age of the
## Abstract MRI studies of cartilage require the prevention of sample degradation before and during scanning and during shipment for correlative studies. Methods to achieve this include immersion in protease inhibitors (PIs), refrigeration, and freezing. In this study, bovine nasal cartilage (BNC)
