Comparison between tridimensional high resolution T1-weighted (T1 3D HR) sagittal images from the same forefoot, respectively weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing, illustrating the difference in articular cartilage thickness and delineation between both conditions.

Articular cartilage is thicker and better delineated on the non-weight-bearing compared to the weight-bearing images. CL: centrolateral; sag: sagittal; CM: centromedial.
