The angular dependence of T1ρ relaxation in normal and abnormal patellae with histological correlation

superficial, middle and deep layers, as well as a global ROI in both normal and abnormal cartilage. There is an obvious magic angle effect for both T1ρ and T2. A slightly reduced magic angle effect was observed in abnormal cartilage.
