Abstract:Background
Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows for the quantification of water diffusion properties in soft tissues. The goal of this study was to characterize the 3D collagen fiber network in the porcine meniscus using high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) acquisition with both diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and generalized q-sampling imaging (GQI).
Methods
Porcine menisci (n=7) were scanned
ex vivo
using a three-dim… Show more
