In this study we created normal T2 map profiles from the
entire femoral cartilage of 20 healthy volunteer knees
to assess regional variations using a novel angle/layer
dependent approach. Overall, variations were observed in
inter- and intra-rater reliability by location, and in
T2 values by angular orientation to B0 and layers of the
cartilage. The results indicate the importance of
evaluating cartilage in consideration of these
variations for diagnosis of cartilage degeneration in
specific location of the knee.
