Abstract:
A vendor-neutral MR bone imaging technique based on 3D time-of-flight MR angiography with spoiled gradient recalled acquisition in the steady state (TOF-SPGR) was developed to enhance the depiction of bone and calcification/ossification. This approach is independent of scanner manufacturer and application type, enabling reduced radiation exposure by replacing or triaging further CT examinations. This article describes the optimization of scan parameters for clinical musculoskeletal protocols and explores its clinical applications with representative cases.

Gross Anatomy of Bone
The diaphysis is the tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of the bone. The walls of the diaphysis are composed of dense and hard compact bone made of numerous osteons — the functional unit of the compact bone. The hollow region in the diaphysis is called the medullary cavity, which harbors the bone marrow. In infants and children, this marrow cavity is filled with red marrow, whereas in...

Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
