Fig. 3

Representative conventional and FS T2 weighted LFC anatomical source images and T2 mapping of 37-years-old women. Average LFC T2 value of FS T2 mapping was lower than conventional T2 mapping (51.0 vs. 47.7). Conventional source image (a) and T2 mapping (b) showed chemical shift artifacts (arrows) on the cartilage-bone interface which affected T2 value estimation. FS source image (c) and FS T2 mapping (d) demonstrated devoid of chemical shift artifacts and clearly visualized cartilage –bone interface
