Figure 2.
The FA, MD, and SNR values at different connective tissues, including cartilage, meniscus, ACL, PCL, and muscle. These values are derived from the ROIs delineated in b0 images (a-e) by different colors. Meniscus and ligaments have higher FA values (f) than muscle and cartilage, while muscle and cartilage show higher MD values than meniscus and ligaments (g). Both cartilage and muscle exhibit higher SNR values than meniscus and ligaments at both b = 0 s/mm2 (b0) and b = 1000 s/mm2 (h).
