To
better understand the pathological progression of osteoarthritis (OA), techniques
based on high resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) NMR spectroscopy are developed
for the study of relaxation times (T1, T2, and T1ρ) and diffusion coefficient
(D) of human knee synovial fluids (SF) harvested from 1 OA and 8 anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) injured patients.
