Abstract:To investigate the usefulness of commercially available fat-containing agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on bone mineral measurement.
MethodsThe proximal femurs obtained from 14 volunteers were analyzed by 0.3T MRI with a fat-containing nutrient solution (based on soybean oil, 10% and 20%), 100% soybean oil and saline as reference substances. Fat content was estimated based on the relationship between the intensities of the signals of the reference substances. Since this was an approximate value… Show more
