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

Table 4

Spearman’s correlations between the modelled compositional and qMRI parameters in the separate regions (i.e. PR and CR) as quantified by Spearman’s correlation coefficient . Significant correlations are printed in bold-type, while the levels of significance are further stratified as 0.01 < ≤ 0.05 (), 0.001 < ≤ 0.01 (), and ≤ 0.001 () and written in parentheses.
