The Relaxometry application measures relaxation times from MRI images, improves sensitivity and reduces subjectivity of visual evaluation, therefore enhancing investigation of tissue abnormalities.
With this plug-in, specialists can assess water distribution in the cartilage to better detect several articular abnormalities such as early osteoarthritis.
The plug-in also allows specialists to measure cartilage changes in athletes, often affected by premature aging and injury. The Relaxometry plug-in provides T2_map, computed from T2 mapping sequences (spin echo sequences with multiple echo times), offering T2.

The MSK (musculoskeletal) Cartilage application workflow addresses the physicians’ needs for the imaging assessment of cartilage disorders. MSK combines Analysis and Relaxometry applications.
