A new technique named multi-component Relaxation Imaging
using Steady-state signal Evolution (mcRISE) was
proposed in this study to resolve unbiased and
magnetization transfer (MT) corrected multi-component T2
measures. Our technique introduces a macromolecular
proton pool in exchange with regular two component water
pools and uses a combined model aimed for providing more
robust and unbiased multi-component T2 values along with
additional quantitative MT parameters, which may provide
a new set of biomarkers for assessing the cartilage
extracellular matrix in-vivo.
