Table III.

Correlations observed between ultrashort echo time (UTE)-T2* profile characteristics and patient reported outcomes within anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) knees

ROI	UTE-T2* profile characteristic	KOOS metric	r	P
cMTP	UTE-T2* minimum, L4P	Pain	−0.35	0.036
cMTP	Slope middle 50%, AD	Symptoms	0.36	0.032
cMFC	UTE-T2* maximum, L4P	Symptoms	0.43	0.008
pMFC	UTE-T2* maximum, L4P	Pain	−0.41	0.012

Table includes only correlations with P < 0.05. Results of all comparisons are included in Appendix 2.

L4P indicates parameter calculated from four-parameter logistic sigmoidal curve-fit equation.

AD indicates parameter calculated from average derivatives.

Bold indicates significant correlation after adjustment for multiple comparisons.
