In this preliminary study, T2* values for ACL autografts exhibited a statistically significant increase of 82% between 1 and 6 months, followed by an approximate 19% decline in T2* values between 6 and 12 months. In the future, UTE-T2* MRI may provide unique insights into the condition of remodeling ACL grafts and may improve our ability to noninvasively assess graft maturity before return to play.
