Quantification of changes in T(2) relaxation time, in human cartilage, with progression of osteoarthritis (OA), and evaluation of qualitative correlations with clinical evaluation, histology and polarized light microscopy (PLM). Cartilage-bone plugs were harvested from fresh cadaveric knees (n = 10)...
