A compact MRI system for measuring trabecular bone volume fraction (TBVF) of the calcaneus was developed with the use of a 0.21 T permanent magnet and portable MRI console. The entire system weighed < 600 kg and was installed in a 2 m Ψ 2 m space. Two cross-sectional spin-echo images of a heel acqui

Abstract
The need for quick, accurate, and reproducible methods to measure the amount of bone within porous metals has increased as the use of these materials has become more common within orthopedics. The purpose of this paper is to compare measrements of bone ingrowth using microradiography, stained histology, and backscattered electron imagingβscanning electron microscopy (BEIβSEM) in cementless, porousβcoated acetabular components retrived from human patients. BEIβSEM of bone ingrowth into porous metal provided excellent images for quantitative analysis. The stained sections and BEIβSEM images provided very comparable results, while microradiography consistently understimated the porosity of the porous coating and overestimated the amount of bone ingrowth.
