T1rho and T2 relaxation times of the normal adult knee meniscus at 3T: analysis of zonal differences

Abstract Background Prior studies describe histological and immunohistochemical differences in collagen and proteoglycan content in different meniscal zones. The aim of this study is to evaluate horizontal and vertical zonal differentiation of T1rho and T2 relaxation times of the entire meniscus fro...
