To investigate the reversed intensity pattern in the laminar appearance of articular cartilage by 3D Fat-Suppressed Spoiled Gradient Recalled Echo (FS-SPGR) imaging in MRI. The 3D SPGR experiments were carried out on canine articular cartilage with an echo time (TE) of 2.12 ms, a repetition time (TR) of 60ms, and various flip-angles (5°–80°). In addition, T1, T2 and T2* in cartilage were imaged and used to explain the laminar appearance in SPGR imaging. The profiles of T2 and T2* in cartilage were similar in shape. However, the T2 values from the multi-gradient-echo imaging sequence were about 1/3 of those from single spin-echo sequences at a pixel resolution of 26 μm. While the laminar appearance of cartilage in spin-echo imaging is caused mostly by T2-weighting, the laminar appearance of cartilage in fast imaging (i.e., short TR) at the magic angle can have a reversed intensity pattern, which is caused mostly by T1-weighting. Laminar appearance of articular cartilage can have the opposite intensity patterns in the deep part of the tissue, depending upon whether the image is T1-weighted or T2-weighted. The underlying molecular structure and experimental protocols should both be considered when one examines cartilage images in MRI.
