Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that may
affect more than half of the ACL-injured population.
Current MRI osteoarthritis studies often evaluate just a
single slice from the medial and lateral compartments of
the full knee, which may not fully describe the
cartilage volume variation or longitudinal changes. In
this work, we provide a method of visualizing
quantitative maps of the entire cartilage surface using
projection maps. T2 relaxation time differences between
healthy volunteers and ACL-injured subjects are clear
and the global percent short term CV of the implemented
technique is comparable to the ROI approach reported in
literature.
