While true-FISP provides increased signal to noise ratio, it is also prone to banding artefacts due to incoherent dephasing. We thus here compare true-FISP DENSE with FID-DENSE to estimate cartilage strain under compressive loading. As FID-DENSE will be artefact free however at the expense of a lower signal to noise ratio, we investigate if DENSE-FID or DENSE-FISP will provide a more robust computation of cartilage strains under compressive loading.
