(A) Meniscus (blue) and cartilage segmented sub-compartments – anterior (green), central (red) and posterior (yellow) – displayed on a SPGR image. (B) T1ρ color map overlaid on a fat-saturated T2-weighted FSE image obtained in a patient, with higher T1ρ values; a meniscal tear (arrow) is evident at the posterior horn of meniscus.

6. Fig. 5
A significant correlation was found at the lateral side of the knee between T1ρ values of the posterior horn of the meniscus and T1ρ values of posterior sub-compartment of lateral tibial cartilage, demonstrating a strong injury-related relationship between the two tissues.
