  • Nuclear magnetic resonance technology for non-invasive characterization of bone porosity and pore size distributions
    Patent number: 6690166
    Abstract: Magnetic resonance technology can be used to non-invasively measure bone porosity, pore size distribution, and other bone properties, including aging, in situ. Spin-lattice (T1) as well as spin-spin (T2) relaxation time data and spectra are used to determine porosity and pore size distribution in human bones, including compact bones.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 26, 2001
    Date of Patent: February 10, 2004
    Assignee: Southwest Research Institute
    Inventors: Qingwen Ni, Xiaodu Wang, James D. King
