Fig. 5

Dictionary-based denoised isotropic T2 maps in six different subjects. Robust fat suppression enables the unambiguous delineation of the cartilage, while the dictionary mapping of the denoised images results in smooth maps. a–c Representative sagittal reconstructed T2 maps in three healthy subjects in which no focal lesions were detected. The cartilage has smooth and uniform T2 values. d–f Sample sagittal reconstructed T2 maps in three subjects with mild osteoarthritis in which lesions were detected (arrows)
