T2 mapping of hip articular cartilage in healthy volunteers at 3T: A study of topographic variation

To perform baseline T2 mapping of the hips of healthy volunteers, focusing on topographic variation, because no detailed study has involved hips. T2 mapping is a quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that evaluates cartilage matrix components.
