Table 1. Quantitative washout results of bony compartments in hip, knee and spine.

Washout parameters	Hip		Knee					Spine
	FH (n=18)	PFD (n=18)		DFD (n=11)	DFE (n=12)	PTE (n=11)	PTD (n=7)		Vertebra L3 (n=10)
Mean MaxOut	−17.5±12.7%	50.9±18.8%a		19.4±7.9%	16.9±8.5%	20.0±8.6%	9.5±7.5%b		36.5±8.7%
Mean Rout	−5.3±4.8%	14.1±5.0%a		5.8±2.1%	5.1±2.5%	5.8±2.3%	2.1±2.2%b		11.6±2.7%
Mean Tout	3.2±0.5	3.6±0.2a		3.3±0.5	3.4±0.5	3.3±0.5	3.2±0.6		3.2±0.1

FH, femoral head; PFD, proximal femoral diaphysis; DFD, distal femoral diaphysis; DFE, distal femoral epiphysis; PTE, proximal tibial epiphysis; PTD, proximal tibial diaphysis; MaxOut, maximum washout; Rout, washout rate; Tout, time of washout (min); n, number of joints used for analysis.

Negative values of FH indicate MR signal increase. Positive values of PFD, DFD, DFE, PTE, PTD and vertebra L3 indicate MR signal decrease.
