β¦ Synopsis
Bed rest is used to simulate the effects of weightlessness on human physiology. A spin-echo procedure was used to image the lower leg of 15 normal male volunteers before and after 5 weeks of horizontal bedrest. In addition to noninvasively measuring muscle size changes, accurate T2 images were produced to investigate possible relaxation time changes immediately (2-4 h) and 1-2 days after bed rest. Subcutaneous fat showed no change in T2, bone marrow showed a decrease, and muscle showed no change immediately after bed rest but increased 1-2 days following reambulation.
