Synopsis

Magic Angle Effect (MAE) has been demonstrated to play an important role in both T2 and T1rho relaxation times in articular cartilage, its impact on the DTI measurements is still unknown. In this study we imaged rat knee, rat brain, and human brain at different orientation to explore the magic angle effect.
