## Abstract Skeletal fragility is common at metaphyseal regions of long bones. The cortices of this region are derived by coalescence of trabeculae around the periphery of the growth plate, not by periosteal apposition, as occurs in the diaphyses. We therefore hypothesized that trabecular bone in c

Abstract
Phosphorus was imaged in vivo in human cortical and trabecular bone and the T~1~ and T were measured. An ultrashort TE (UTE) pulse sequence (TE = 70 μm) was used with half pulse excitation and radial mapping of k‐space from the center out. T was measured using multiple echo times and T~1~ was measured both by saturation recovery and by a method using different RF pulse amplitudes. Seven normal subjects (32–85 years) were examined. Phosphorus was imaged, with a true in‐plane resolution of 2.9 × 2.9 mm and a signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) of 19:1, in both cortical and trabecular bone. The mean T value was 207 ± 12 μs, and the mean T~1~ value was 8.6 ± 3.0 sec. Images and measurements were obtained in realistic times on a clinical MR system. This may provide a new approach to characterizing disease of bone. Magn Reson Med 51:888–892, 2004. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract In micro‐MRI studies of trabecular bone designed to evaluate structural changes in response to intervention, follow‐up scan volumes do not typically align exactly with the baseline scan volumes due to the orientation and placement of the anatomic location, here the distal tibia, relativ
The nanoindentation technique was used to characterize the variation in the elastic modulus and hardness of human lumbar vertebral cortical and trabecular bone. The elastic modulus (and in most cases, the hardness as well) of axially aligned trabeculae cut in the transverse direction was significant
