title: MR imaging of articular cartilage.
abstract: With the advent of new treatments for articular cartilage disorders, accurate noninvasive assessment of articular cartilage, particularly with MR imaging, has become important. Understanding the MR imaging features of articular cartilage has led to the development of two types of routinely available MR imaging techniques which have demonstrated clinical accuracy and interobserver reliability.
