Popis: Histologic correlation of the different magnetic resonance (MR) appearances of articular cartilage has not been studied extensively. Therefore, the authors correlated thin (high-resolution) MR sections of articular cartilage with histologic sections. Human cadaver lumbar facet joints were imaged with a 1-mm section thickness and a 4-cm field of view, then sectioned and stained for histologic comparison. MR imaging patterns were identified that correlated with normal cartilage and three histologically different patterns of degeneration.
