Diffusion tensor imaging of articular cartilage at 3T correlates with histology and biomechanics in a mechanical injury model

We establish a mechanical injury model for articular cartilage to assess the sensitivity of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in detecting cartilage damage early in time. Mechanical injury provides a more realistic model of cartilage degradation compared with commonly used enzymatic degradation.
