A member asked:
Whats does generalised signal heterogeneity within the articular cartilage mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not uniform: Just means that the cartilage looks different in different areas, it does not have a consistent appearance throughout the whole area of cartilage. It could be due to a number of factors. Talk to your doctor about what it means in your situation.
