MR T1ρ and T2 mapping are promising techniques that have potential as early markers of cartilage degeneration. Currently, applications of cartilage T1ρ and T2 imaging in multicenter clinical trials are very limited. One impeding factor is the lack of documentation of potential variations of T1ρ and T2 introduced by different scanners, coils and sites. In this report, we evaluate the longitudinal reproducibility of T1ρ and T2, and the variation of T1ρ and T2 by using different scanners and coils at one site, and the reproducibility and cross-validation of T1ρ and T2 among three sites.
