Comprehensive description of T2 value spatial variations in non-osteoarthritic femoral cartilage using three-dimensional registration of morphological and relaxometry data

The aim of this study was to develop and assess a method of quantifying cartilage T2 relaxation times in a series of volumes of interest (VOIs) covering the entire cartilage of the femoral condyles. Subsequently, the method was used to test for T2 spatial variations in non-osteoarthritic (OA) knees.
