Evaluation of Pre‐Operative Cartilage and Meniscus Ultrashort Echo Time T2 * as Biomarkers of Long‐Term Clinical Outcomes Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

ABSTRACT Background Ultrashort echo time T2* (UTE‐T2*) mapping is sensitive to the composition of deep cartilage and menisci. UTE‐T2* elevations are common after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, but their long‐term prognostic importance is unknown. Hypothesis Higher pre...
