Fig. 1From: Pre-contrast T1 and cartilage thickness as confounding factors in dGEMRIC when evaluating human cartilage adaptation to physical activityIllustration of the regions of interest (ROIs) in a lateral femoral condyle. The femoral knee cartilage was divided into two main segments: weight-bearing (WB) and non-weight-bearing (NWB). The deepest (blue) and the most superficial (red) cartilage layers of each segment were analysed as separate ROIs. The thickness of each segment was calculated as the mean value of three thickness measurements within each segment (indicated by black lines)Back to article page
