## Abstract ## Purpose: To determine the relationship between changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) and T~1ρ~ and T~2~ values in vivo. The ECM is composed of proteoglycan (PG), collagen, and water. It has been unclear which of the ECM constituents affects T~1ρ~ and T~2~ mapping in living human
## Abstract Preliminary results from __in vivo__ sodium MRI of human patellar articular cartilage are presented. Sodium images generated of an __in vitro__ bovine patella clearly distinguish the region of proteoglycan depletion from the region of healthy cartilage. This provides the first evidence
