NMR microscopic studies of articular cartilage at 7.1 T are presented. Using a special
experimental design, T 2 ‐weighted spin‐echo images of cartilage‐bone plugs were taken under …

In T 2 ‐weighted MRI images joint cartilage can appear laminated. The multilaminar appearance
is visualized as zones of different intensity. This appearance is based on the dipolar …

High‐resolution MRI measurements on knee joints show a multilaminar appearance of the
cartilage. This intracartilaginar structure, visualized as hypointense zones in T 2 ‐weighted …

In this paper, investigations are described on the influence of osmotic pressures and of
varying cation concentrations on water relaxation times in cartilage (pig articular cartilage and …

Transverse nuclear magnetic relaxation and self‐diffusion of water were measured in hydrated
collagen II. Self‐diffusion measurements were conducted by pulsed field gradient NMR (…

Sodium hypochlorite causes a continuous decrease of the line for M-acetyl groups. Two
new resonances appear in the 1H-NMR spectra. An intermediate product, assumed as a …

MRI is of great clinical utility for the guidance of various diagnostic and therapeutic
procedures. In a standard closed‐bore scanner, the simplest approach is to manipulate the …

Purpose To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of an automated method to determine the
3D position of MR‐visible markers. Materials and Methods Inductively coupled RF coils were …

A combination of solid‐state NMR spectroscopy and MRI was used to evaluate the formation
of extracellular matrix in poly(D,L‐lactide‐co‐glycolide) (PLGA) bone implants. Porous …

H transverse nuclear magnetic relaxation times (T 2 ) and self‐diffusion coefficients (SDCs)
of water were measured in isolated proteoglycan aggregates from pig articular cartilage. The …
