T2 Mapping Detects BMI-Linked Cartilage Changes and Lateral Compartment Signal Differences in Population-Based Knee OA
Highlights
– In a population-based cohort (Rotterdam Study subcohort), higher cartilage T2 relaxation times were associated with MRI-defined tibiofemoral osteoarthritis and with BMI.
– Lateral compartment cartilage subregions (lateral weight-bearing femur, lateral tibia, lateral posterior femur) showed the strongest T2–OA associations; T2 did not correlate with KOOS-based symptoms.
