A comparison of multi-echo spin-echo and triple-echo steady-state T2 mapping for in vivo evaluation of articular cartilage

OBJECTIVES: To assess the clinical relevance of T(2) relaxation times, measured by 3D triple-echo steady-state (3D-TESS), in knee articular cartilage compared to conventional multi-echo spin-echo T(2)-mapping. METHODS: Thirteen volunteers and ten patients with focal cartilage lesions were included i...
