title: Magnetic resonance imaging of articular cartilage.
abstract: Recent advances in treatments of the cartilage abnormalities require more information on the extent and shape of cartilage abnormalities and need for early detection of the lesions. In this article we review MR appearance of the cartilage correlated with histology, MR-related artifacts for cartilage imaging, conventional and dedicated MR techniques suitable for the cartilage, and their clinical utilization.
