Synopsis

Keywords: Quantitative Imaging, Cartilage, RepeatabilityT2 and T1rho repeatability is essential for evaluating the small changes that occur during early osteoarthritis disease progression. In this study, we acquired phantom data on T2 and T1rho relaxation times across 6 time points as well as 3 distinct locations along the scanner for T2/T1rho 3D MAPSS and 3D qDESS with varying resolution for T2 mapping. We observed repeatability of the 4 quantitative MRI sequences that were well within the QIBA benchmark for phantom scans of 4-5%. Further, our data suggests that phantom positioning within the scanner bore did not affect repeatability or quantitative values.
