Measurement of pore water T₁ (T₁^pw), collagen-bound water T₁ (T₁^cw) and total water effective T₁ (T₁^eff) using single-component fitting of saturation recovery dual echo UTE acquisitions with TEs of 8 μs and 2.4 ms, as well as IR-UTE acquisitions with variable TR/TI combinations and a TE of 8 μs.

T₁ Measurements	T₁^PW	T₁^CW	T₁^Effective
Saturation Recovery UTE (TE₁ = 8 μs)	-	-	243 ± 37 ms
Saturation Recovery UTE (TE₂ = 2.4 ms)	527 ± 28 ms	-	-
Inversion Recovery UTE, variable TR/TI	-	116 ± 6 ms	-
