Higher T2 relaxation times were noted in patients with knee osteoarthritis, indicating changes in cartilage health.
The study evaluated T2 values in 1332 knees, with 237 (17.7%) showing signs of MRI-based osteoarthritis.
Multivariate regression analyses demonstrated significant associations between T2 values and the presence of osteoarthritis.
T2 values correlated positively with BMI, particularly in the lateral compartment of the knee joint.
