To investigate the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) adiabatic relaxation times in the rotating frame (adiabatic T and T ) to detect structural alterations in meniscus tissue of mild OA patients and asymptomatic volunteers. MR images of 24 subjects (age range: 50-67 years, 12 male), includ...
