Figure 2

Magnetic resonance image of normal articular cartilage. Sagittal fat saturated intermediate-weighted fast spin-echo - repetition time/echo time: 3100/35 - shows normal articular cartilage at the patellofemoral joint with clear demarcation between the articular cartilage and the subchondral bone. Note three-layered cartilage appearance: deeper dark layer (arrowhead), intermediate bright layer (long arrow), and superficial dark layer (short arrow) of lamina splendans.
