Multiparametric MRI and Computational Modelling in the Assessment of Human Articular Cartilage Properties: A Comprehensive Approach

Figure 4

Mean fiber orientation angle [°] as a function of the normalized cartilage depth. The entire cartilage depth was structured into three zones: superficial zone (SZ; 0–15%), transitional zone (TZ, 15–65%), and deep zone (DZ, 65–100%).
