Sensitivity of Multicomponent Driven Equilibrium Single Observation of T1 and T2 (mcDESPOT) to Magic Angle Effects in Bovine Articular Cartilage at 3.0T

T2BW, T2PG, and FPG maps at 0° and 55° relative to Bo. There is still some natural variation in the curvature of the articular surface and collagen fiber orientation across the slab which results in non-uniform changes in T2Single, T2BW, and T2PG within the cartilage specimen. Figure 2: T2 parameters at 30°, 55°, and 60° expressed as a percent change relative to the baseline value at 0° where there was no magic angle effect.
