Tendon is a highly ordered collagen-rich fibril tissue
links muscle to bone. Multiple water components with
distinct MR relaxation times exist in the tendon. In
this study, we aimed to study the multiple water
components in the Achilles tendon, and investigate its
MTR as a function of MT pulse frequency offset in
healthy volunteers and patients with tendon rupture
using a clinical 3T scanner
