Abstract
The basic usage of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) microimaging for m aterials characterization is introduced. An application of microimagin g for three-dimensional structural study of trabecular bone is present ed with elementary types of image presentation. Solid bone in itself d oes not produce any significant NMR intensity and natural lipids and/o r added 70% ethanol has been used as a signal source. The applied puls e sequences were three-dimensional spin echo and three-dimensional che mical shift selective spin echo. (C) 1998 Chapman & Hall.
