Quantitative measurements of SNR and CNR for the short-T2 species, including SNR for the deep radial and calcified layers of articular cartilage (SNR_DL), cortical bone (SNR_Bone) and the Achilles tendon (SNR_Tendon), CNR between the deep layers of cartilage and superficial layers of cartilage (CNR_DL^SL) or fat (CNR_DL^Fat), CNR between cortical bone and fat (CNR_Bone^Fat) and CNR between the Achilles tendon and muscle (CNR_Tendon^Muscle).
