We report a simple and efficient MR method for the evaluation of trabecular bone quality. This technique is based on detection and imaging of Multiple Spin-Echoes (MSE), a manifestation of the dipolar field generated by residual intermolecular dipolar couplings in liquids. In the particular implemen

## Abstract ## Objective To use highβresolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate the trabecular bone structure in the distal femur and the proximal tibia and its to correlate the findings with different stages of osteoarthritis (OA) of the human knee. ## Methods Axial images of the d
The magnetic field induced in the pores of trabecular bone as a result of the susceptibility difference between bone and bone marrow was computed with the aid of magnetic surface charge models generated from images of trabecular bone specimens acquired at 78 and 63 m resolution. The predicted field
