The normal Achilles tendon is composed of twisted subtendons separated by thin high
signal septae, which are a potential pitfall on MRI because they mimic a tendon tear …

Achilles tendon injury is a common sports injury, and an in‐depth understanding of its
healing process is essential for improving rehabilitation strategies. As a non‐invasive …

This comparative study aimed to investigate how tendinopathy-related lesions change
correlations in the dimensions of the Achilles tendon. Our experimental group included 74 …

Purpose To evaluate whole knee joint tractography, including articular cartilage, ligaments,
meniscus, and growth plate using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) at microscopic resolution …

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) measures have provided insights into the
composition, quality, and structure‐function of musculoskeletal tissues. Low signal‐to‐noise …

Purpose To evaluate the complex fiber orientations and 3D collagen fiber network of knee
joint connective tissues, including ligaments, muscle, articular cartilage, and meniscus using …

Objective To investigate the influences of the diffusion gradient directions (angular
resolution) and the strength of the diffusion gradient (b value) on diffusion tensor imaging …

To noninvasively evaluate the three-dimensional collagen fiber architecture of porcine
meniscus using diffusion MRI, meniscal specimens were scanned using a 3D diffusion …

Tendon fascicle bundles are often used as biological grafts and thus must meet certain
quality requirements, such as excluding calcification, which alters the biomechanical …

Quantification of magnetic resonance (MR)-based relaxation parameters of tendons and
ligaments is challenging due to their very short transverse relaxation times, requiring …
