T 2 -mapping and diffusion-weighted imaging complement morphological imaging for assessing cartilage disease and injury. The double echo steady state (DESS) sequence has been used for morphological imaging and generates two echoes with markedly different T 2 and diffusion weighting. Modifying the sp...
