<h4>Purpose</h4>High-resolution visualization of cartilage canals has been restricted to histological methods and contrast-enhanced imaging. In this study, the feasibility of non-contrast-enhanced susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) for visualization of the cartilage canals was investigated ex vivo at 9.4 T, further explored at 7 and 3 T and demonstrated in vivo at 7 T, using a porcine animal model.<h4>Methods</h4>SWI scans of specimens of distal femur and humerus from 1 to 8 week-old piglets ...[more]
