Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disorder,
which occurs due to wear and tear of the joint. Research
has shown that subtle changes in tissue microstructure
correlate with changes in restricted diffusion of water,
which manifest in signal changes on diffusion-weighted
MR images. A new pulse sequence for diffusion weighted
imaging of the knee combining stimulated echo diffusion
preparation with magnetization prepared angle modulated
partitioned k-space spoiled gradient echo snapshots
(MAPSS) acquisition for diffusion imaging of short T2
tissues like cartilage at 3T is investigated. We also
look at the correlation between two potential biomarkers
for OA: diffusion and T1ρ.
