Isotropic three-dimensional T2 mapping of knee cartilage: Development and validation.
1) To implement a higher-resolution isotropic 3D T2 mapping technique that uses sequential T2 -prepared segmented gradient-recalled echo (Iso3DGRE) images for knee cartilage evaluation, and 2) to validate it both in vitro and in vivo in healthy volunteers and patients with knee osteoarthritis. ⋯ 1 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2018;47:362-371.
