Abstract The experiments reported herein are the first MRI investigations of orientational dependence T 2 relaxation in articular cartilage at microscopic resolution over 360° angular space. For each six canine specimens, 48 independent ‐weighted proton images were acquired for 12 different specimen orientations. Pixel‐wise monoexponential fits these produced images, with an in‐plane pixel 13.7 μm. Cartilage as a function orientation was shown to follow approximately nuclear dipole–dipole...
