Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of proteoglycan depletion on cartilage proton magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy T2 using nanomelic chicken cartilage, a genetic mutant that completely lacks aggrecan. DESIGN: Proton MR spectroscopic T2 measurements of normal embryonic and nanomelic femoral epiphyseal cartilage were obtained using a 96-echo pulse sequence with inter-echo delay times increased logarithmically...
