Image acquisition protocols and anatomical subregions analyzed: (a) Coronal FLASH with water excitation (b) Sagittal DESS with water excitation (c) Tibial cartilage viewed from superior: (MT=medial tibia, LT=lateral tibia; c=central, e=external, i=internal, a=anterior, and p=posterior) (d) Weight-bearing femoral cartilage viewed from inferior: cMF=weight-bearing (central) medial femoral cartilage, cLF=weight-bearing (central) lateral femoral cartilage; c=central, e=external, i=internal,

Longitudinal change in cartilage thickness (in μm) between BL and Y1 and between Y1 and Y2. (a) and (c) Coronal FLASH sample (n=239); (b) and (d) Sagittal DESS sample (n=107) sample Graphs (a) and (b) show the change in the MT (dark continuous line) and in the LT (light continuous line), as well as in the weight-bearing (central) part of the medial femoral condyle (dark dashed line) and in the lateral femoral condyle (light dashed line) Graphs (c) and (d) show the change in the 16 OVs (OV1–OV16), from bottom to top.

Scatterplot of the change in cartilage thickness (in μm) between BL and Y1 and between Y1 and Y2. (a) and (c) Coronal FLASH sample (n=239); (b) and (d) Sagittal DESS sample (n=107) sample. Graphs (a) und (b) illustrate the change in the MFTC Graphs (c) und (d) illustrate the change in the subregion with the largest changes in each participants (OV 1).
