✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Chemically selective solid state phosphorus‐31 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging of the mineral phase of bone and synthetic calcium phosphate models for bone mineral is demonstrated with microscopy‐scale (about 5 mm field of view) apparatus at 6.0 T magnetic field strength. Pixel‐by‐pixel linear combination of image data from multiple radio frequency (RF) pulse sequences, chosen to develop contrast between chemical constituents of interest in the mineral, generates derived images showing the distribution of individual constituents. The technique combines the noninvasive character of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the ability of solid state NMR spectroscopy to characterize subtle chemical variations in bone mineral, as well as to measure the amount of mineral. These methods are, in principle, extensible to larger dimensional scales suitable for live animal subjects or human limbs.

## Abstract Calcified tissue is a common component of atherosclerotic plaques, and occurs most often in mature plaques. The process of calcification is a poorly understood risk factor that may contribute to a plaque's vulnerability to sudden rupture. In this study a solid‐state imaging sequence, te

## Abstract In osteomalacia decreased mineralization reduces the stiffness and static strength of bone. We hypothesized that hypomineralization in osteomalacic bone could be quantified by solid‐state ^31^P magnetic resonance imaging (SS‐MRI). Hypomineralization was measured with a 3D radial imaging
