Mean modelled tissue compositional parameters. Mean ± standard deviation. Of note, the modelling approach was equal for the central and the peripheral regions. Volume fraction of fluid (FF), collagen (CO) and proteoglycan contents (PG), and mean collagen fiber orientation angle (CFO). See Figure 1 for an explanation of the remaining abbreviations.
