Fig. 2. —Three-dimensional plot of cartilage T2 as function of normalized distance and orientation to B₀. For all orientations, cartilage T2 values are long near bone—cartilage interface and decrease to minimum near normalized distance of 0.2-0.4. Cartilage T2 then increases toward articular surface. At all normalized distances, cartilage T2 is longest when oriented 55°. Greatest variation in cartilage T2 as a function of orientation is in superficial 20% of cartilage (normalized distance = 0.8-1.0).
