Abstract
In conclusion, GAG content measured by dGEMRIC is highly related to the selected biomechanical properties of naturally degenerated articular cartilage. In contrast, T2 and ADC were unable to estimate these properties. The results of the study imply that some MR parameters can non-invasively predict the biomechanical properties of degenerated articular cartilage.
