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

Table 2

Mean regional and zonal qMRI parameter values [ms]. Mean ± standard deviation. Regional and zonal assessment was performed using the Mann–Whitney test and Kruskal Wallis test, respectively. While no significant differences were found upon regional assessment [data not shown], significant differences were found upon zonal assessment and are printed in bold-type. See Figure 1 for a definition of the different regions (PR, CR) and zones (SZ, TZ, DZ).
