The main struct variable in the file ("all_data") contains several fields storing all the data per sample. In the following, brief descriptions for the main subfields are given: name: contains generic name of the sample qMRI_Data: contains qMRI raw data, the corresponding relaxation time maps and normalized cartilage full-thickness ROI profiles calcROI_Data: contains ROIs used to calculate the relaxation time maps analysisROI_Data: ROIs used for the analysis DD_prof and interpDD_prof: Original and interpolated profiles for proteoglycan content (Optical Density) PLM_prof and interpPLM_prof: Original and interpolated profiles for collagen fiber orientation (Polarized Light Microscopy) E_eq and E_dyn: Equilibrium and dynamic moduli of articular cartilage. The example script, "Analysis_script.m" contains a short demonstration on how the data in the struct can be accessed. The script assumes that Aedes (http://aedes.uef.fi) analysis software is available for matlab. (Abdul Wahed Kajabi, 17 Jun 2020)
