Measures of UTE-T2* profile slope correlate to patient reported outcomes where a reduction in slope, interpreted as a reflecting a loss of laminar structure, is related to worsening of patient reported symptoms. In central medial tibial plateau (cMTP) cartilage, the average slope of the UTE-T2* profile in the middle 50% of cartilage thickness in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-reconstructed knees demonstrates a small but significant correlation to Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) Symptoms scores. Trendline indicates best linear fit.
