Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging methods for evaluation of articular cartilage in knee osteoarthritis:free-precession and rotating-frame relaxation studies at 3 Tesla

Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic condition that reduces the quality of life of millions of individuals worldwilde. In OA, the progressive degradation of articular cartilage (AC) and bone can cause joint pain and disability. Currently there is no effective treatment available for OA...
