| Research Abstract |
T1ρ mapping is a useful diagnostic tool to evaluate noninvasively and quantitatively the denaturalization of articular cartilage caused by osteoarthritis. It enables not only depicting an early stage of the denatured articular cartilage but also assessing the severity grades of the denaturalization.
