Synopsis

Adiabatic T1rho (AdiabT1rho) is much less sensitive to the magic angle effect compared to the regular continuous wave T1rho (CW-T1rho). In this study we developed a novel phase modulated ultrashort echo time adiabatic T1rho (PM-UTE-AdiabT1rho) sequence for quantitative assessment of both short and long T2 tissue components in the knee joint, including cartilage, meniscus, ligaments, tendons, and muscle, on a clinical 3T scanner. Our results showed excellent single exponential fitting for all the major tissue components in both ex vivo and in vivo normal knee joints.
