Correlations of the averaged zonal thickness in humeral cartilage between μMRI (n = 5 cartilage specimens) and PLM (n = 30 histological sections from 5 μMRI specimens at 6 sections per specimen). Data are in mean ± standard error. The t-probabilities were calculated using Student t-test analysis.

	μMRI Thickness (μm)	PLM Thickness (μm)	t-probability
SZ	21.45 ± 1.95	29.09 ± 2.36	0.04
TZ	52.65 ± 2.38	31.69± 1.24	<0.001
RZ	366.60 ± 16.82	379.68 ± 15.76	0.58
Total Tissue	440.70 ± 18.13	440.46 ± 16.82	0.95
