Fig. 1 Cartilage segmentation in T2 maps: contour of each compartment is marked in one representative slice, i.e., lateral femur (A), medial femur (B), lateral tibia (C), medial tibia (D), patella (E) and trochlea (F).

Fig. 3 Bland–Altman plots show good agreement between the two segmentation techniques, respectively the two readers for mean T2. The solid line indicates the mean difference of the segmentation techniques, respectively the two readers for mean T2. The dashed lines indicate mean difference±1.96×SD.
