Fully automatic analysis of the knee articular cartilage T1ρ relaxation time using voxel‐based relaxometry

To develop and compare with the classical region of interest (ROI)‐based approach a fully automatic, local, and unbiased way of studying the knee T1ρ relaxation time by creating an atlas and using voxel‐based relaxometry (VBR) in osteoarthritis (OA) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) subjects.
