A clinical case of MRI for T2 and T1 mapping of the knee joint. The patient is male and 46 years old. His right patella cartilage was treated with implanting of MACI and detected after the indicated follow-up times. The line pictures show the clear decrease of T2 and DeltaR1 in the regenerated tissue at 3 and 6 months, and similar values between the regenerated tissue and the control normal cartilage at 18 months.
