Depth-dependent characterization of cartilage nanostructures using MRI signal decays
The proposed voxel-based method of echo decay analysis enables the estimation of nanocavities, their angular distribution, and spatial variations of the nanocavity characteristics throughout the sample. This newly developed approach demonstrated that detailed structural tissue information can be obtained as a depth function, representing a significant advancement in understanding cartilage nanostructures and holds potential for future medical applications.
