The purpose of this work was to assess cartilage T1rho values in osteoarthritic patients with and without meniscal tears at 3T. OA patients without meniscal tears (n = 5) and with mensical tears (n = 5) were scanned. The preliminary results suggest that there are significant differences in T1rho relaxation times between the two groups specifically within the lateral compartment (P < 0.05) but not in the medial compartment (P > 0.05).
