Figure 2: Bar graph shows cartilage-fluid CNR efficiency values for fluctuating equilibrium (FEMR), 2D fast SE, and 3D SPGR MR imaging sequences. The cartilage-fluid CNR efficiency was significantly higher for the fluctuating equilibrium sequence than for either the 3D SPGR or the 2D fast SE sequence (* = P < .01). The cartilage-fluid CNR efficiency for the 2D fast SE sequence was significantly higher than that for the 3D SPGR sequence (** = P < .01). Error bars indicate standard deviations.
