Single- and Bicomponent Analyses of T2 Relaxation in Knee Tendon and Ligament by Using 3D Ultrashort Echo Time Cones (UTE Cones) Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Table 1

T-test of RMSE between bi- and single-component.

Parameters	Knee joint samples (RMSE)			Knee joints in Volunteer (RMSE)
	Bi-component (%)	Single-component (%)	P values	Bi-component (%)	Single-component (%)	P values
PT	0.08±0.04	0.91±0.41	0.01	1.63±0.15	2.56±0.12	0.01
PCL	0.12±0.02	1.38±0.25	0.01	1.34±0.13	2.57±0.25	0.01
ACL	0.33±0.09	1.91±0.71	0.01	3.23±0.33	3.62±0.33	0.29

P values < 0.05 indicate significant difference; RMSE root means square error; PT: patella tendon; ACL: anterior cruciate ligament; PCL: posterior cruciate ligament.
