Patellar tendon images of a healthy subject at high-resolution 0.28 mm (a). In the magnified view (a1) corresponding to the dashed box region in (a), collagen bundles inside the tendon (arrow) are clearly illustrated. Magic angle effect altered the intensity of tendon in (a) and (a1), and resulted in the appearance of brightening and darkening intensities. (3T scanner, 8-channel knee coil, AWSOS sequence, TE/TR = 0.6/80 msec, θ = 30°, FOV = 140 mm, slice thickness = 2 mm, and matrix size = 512.)
