The box plots show T2 values averaged over all five compartments for (A) the superficial cartilage layer, (B) the deep cartilage layer, and (C) the whole cartilage at baseline and 24 month follow-up. Subjects were stratified by prevalence of cartilage lesion at baseline. Elevated T2 values were observed in subjects with cartilage lesion, compared to subjects without cartilage lesion (p<0.05). The p-values are adjusted for age, gender, BMI, baseline KL-score and subcohort.
