Quantitative imaging techniques are highly significant for early detection of cartilage changes. 4 MRI techniques such as relaxometry (T2*, T1-rho mapping, and T1), sodium imaging, delayed gadolinium-enhanced MRI of cartilage (dGEMRIC), glycosaminoglycan-specific chemical exchange saturation transfer (gagCEST), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) can determine and measure the biochemical characteristics of cartilage.
