Abstract
Articular cartilage imaging of the knee on a 3.0Â T MR scanner shows increased SNR and CNR efficiencies compared to a 1.5Â T scanner, where SSFP-based techniques show the highest increase in SNR and CNR efficiency. There was no difference between average cartilage thickness measurements performed at the 1.5Â T and 3.0Â T scanners or between the three different sequences.
