Synopsis

Keywords: Cartilage, Quantitative ImagingResults of the current study demonstrate compartment- and region-specific differences in medial and lateral meniscal T2* values. Meniscal T2* values may provide a non-invasive means to assess response of the tissue specific to the loading environment and identify the early onset meniscal degeneration. A better understanding of the early changes in meniscal T2* values may help define the progression of meniscal degeneration, prior to the onset of gross morphologic defects.
