T2 mapping of the trapeziometacarpal joint and triangular fibrocartilage complex: a feasibility and reproducibility study at 1.5 T

To assess the feasibility and reproducibility of T2 relaxation time measurements of the trapeziometacarpal joint (TM) and triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) on healthy subjects at 1.5 T MR. Thirty-four healthy volunteers underwent an axial oblique multislice multiecho spin-echo sequence of the wrist at 1.5 T, with 10 of them having performed another MR scan on a different 1.5 T scanner. Regions of interest were independently manually drawn...
