| Research Abstract |
Recent developments in high-resolution magnetic resonance(MR) imaging techniques have opened up new perspectives for structural characterization of trabecular bone by non-invasive methods. The purpose of this study was to use in vivo high-resolution MR imaging combined with image analysis to investigate the three-dimensional trabecular structure and anisotropy of femoral, talar and calcaneal bone.
