title: Physicochemical properties of normal articular cartilage and its MR appearance.
abstract: Basic physical and physicochemical properties of articular cartilage are correlated with the MR parameters of this tissue. From these parameters, the typical appearance of cartilage in MR images is deduced. Some practical implications for clinical utilization of MRI of articular cartilage are summarized.
