## Abstract ## Purpose To perform baseline T~2~ mapping of the hips of healthy volunteers, focusing on topographic variation, because no detailed study has involved hips. T~2~ mapping is a quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that evaluates cartilage matrix components. ## Mater
## Abstract The negatively charged contrast agent Gd‐DTPA^2–^ distributes inversely to the cartilage fixed charged density. This enables structural cartilage examinations by contrast‐enhanced MRI. In line with the development of a clinically applicable protocol for such examinations, this study des
## 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
