T2 mapping images (A-F) and T2* mapping (A-F) images of rabbit cartilage at different time points after surgery (W2, W4, W8, W12, W16, and W20).

Abstract

<p>The cartilage was integral and had moderate to slightly high linear homogeneous signal (A-B). The cartilage had moderate to slightly high signal and poor contrast with adjacent synovial fluid, adipose tissue and myeloid tissue(C-D). The cartilage was not integral and had slightly high heterogeneous signal(E-F).</p
