Repeatability of T1‐quantification in dGEMRIC for three different acquisition techniques: Two‐dimensional inversion recovery, three‐dimensional look locker, and three‐dimensional variable flip angle

To evaluate the repeatability of the dGEMRIC (delayed gadolinium enhanced MRI of cartilage) method in osteoarthritis‐prone knee joints for three different T1 quantification techniques: two‐dimensional inversion recovery (2D‐IR), three‐dimensional Look‐Locker (3D‐LL), and three‐dimensional variable flip angle (3D‐VFA).
