Structured PICO

Population

human patellar tendon

Intervention

different fitting methods for in-vivo bi-component T2* analysis

Outcome

parameter estimation at different signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) levelssurrogate

Different fitting methods for bi-component T2* analysis of human patellar tendon perform well, especially at lower SNR.

Abstract

PURPOSE: ) relaxation time analysis of human patellar tendon. METHODS: parameter estimation in tendon at different signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) levels. RESULTS: analysis of tendon agreed well with numerical simulations. CONCLUSION: analysis especially at lower SNR. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.
