T1Gd is Reduced in Bone Marrow Lesion Overlying Cartilage in the Hip

Bone Marrow Lesions (BMLs) are areas in bone with high fluid signal on MRI associated with painful and progressive OA. While cartilage near BMLs in the knee has been shown to be degenerated, this relationship has not been investigated in the hip. Research question: is T1Gd lower in areas of cartilage overlying BMLs in the hip?
