Research Abstract |
MRI and NMR techniques are used together and a "dynamic NMR-MRI combined use measurement system" was developed. This instrumentation system can measure the image measuring inside cartilage tissue by MRI, and can measure the water content near the surface dynamically by NMR. The water transport in the organizational structure at the time of cartilage tissue having received load as a walk using this instrumentation system, and change of organizational structure were measured. Moreover, it is also the research purpose to build the cartilage tissue model which includes water transport phenomena based on measurement data
