| Abstract: | During the last decade, considerable effort has been invested into the development of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) mainly used to investigate cerebral morphology. The aim of this paper is to review and to discuss our recent results about high magnetic field DTI application to study spongy bone tissue. Due to its peculiar properties, spongy bone represents a particular porous system sample. Strategies to perform DTI on porous systems and issues linked to DTI outcome interpretation are presented on the basis of our results concerning trabecular bone network characterization. |
