Abstract
The aim of this study is to classify cartilage degradation using only non-invasive MRI parameters that could be applied to OA diagnosis. Our results highlight the importance of zonal variation in the diagnosis of cartilage degeneration. Our novel, non-invasive collagen content measurement was crucial for complete separation of degraded groups from control cartilage. These findings have significant implications for clinical cartilage MRI for disease diagnosis.
