This prospective study included 11 patients (9m\/2f) with a mean age of 30.6 years (standard deviation 9.0). Patients with a meniscal tear that was treated arthroscopically with meniscus suturing, using an all-inside technique, were included. All patients and seven healthy volunteers were imaged on a 7-T whole-body system. T2* mapping of the meniscus was applied on sagittal slices. Regions-of-interest were defined manually in the red and white zone of each medial and lateral meniscus to measure T2*-values. In the medial posterior and medial anterior horn similar T2*-values were measured in the red and white zone at 6- and 12-month follow-up. Compared with the control group higher T2*-values were found in the repaired medial meniscus. After 12-months T2*-values decreased to normal values in the anterior horn and remained elevated in the posterior horn. In the red zone of the lateral posterior horn a significant decrease in the T2*-values (from 8.2 milliseconds to 5.9 milliseconds) (p\u2009=\u20090.04), indicates successful repair; a tendency toward a decrease in the white zone between the 6 and 12 months follow-up was observed. In the red zone of the lateral anterior horn the T2*-values decreased significantly during follow-up and in the white zone of the lateral anterior horn T2*-values were comparable. In comparison to the control group higher T2*-values were measured at 6-months; however, the T2*-values showed comparable values in the repaired lateral meniscus after 12 months. The T2* mapping results of the current study indicated a better healing response of the red zone of the lateral posterior horn compared with the medial posterior horn.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1709135","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,8]],"date-time":"2020-04-08T19:15:22Z","timestamp":1586373322000},"page":"1337-1348","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Evaluation of Meniscal Tissue after Meniscal Repair Using Ultrahigh Field MRI"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Beate","family":"Stelzeneder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Trauma Surgery, Department of Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernhard Michael","family":"Trabauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Trauma Surgery, Department of Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria"},{"name":"Landeskliniken Holding Korneuburg-Stockerau, Stockerau, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Silke","family":"Aldrian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Trauma Surgery, Department of Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Stelzeneder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery, Hanusch-Krankenhaus, Vienna, Austria"},{"name":"Division of Orthopedics, Department of Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vladimir","family":"Juras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"High Field MR Center, Department of Biomedical Imaging and Image-guided Therapy, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria"},{"name":"Department of Imaging Methods, Institute of Measurement Science, Bratislava, Slovakia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Albrecht","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Trauma Surgery, Department of Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria"},{"name":"I.
