The effects of water loss on the T1 and T2* of bovine cortical bone were investigated using ultrashort echo time sequences with signals excited either by a short hard pulse or by two longer half pulses. Nine bovine femur samples were prepared and sequentially air- and oven-dried. On average 3.42% of bone by weight was lost after air-drying for 3 days, with another 5.98% of bone weight loss after oven-drying at 100°C for 24 h. T1 and T2* were measured after every 1% decrease in weight, with 9-10% bone weight loss at the termination of the drying process. After both forms of drying, the overall T1 decreased 33% from 153±18 ms to 102±17 ms when measured using the hard pulse and from 186±25 ms to 122±23 ms when using the half pulses. T2* decreased by 45-50% from 368±29 μs to 201±19 μs using the hard pulse and from 379±35 μs to 191±17 μs using the half pulses. A steady decrease of 26-31% was observed in both T1 and T2* with the first 3-4% bone water loss after air-drying. Oven-drying at 100°C for 24 h resulted on an additional 4% T1 reduction but 25% T2* reduction.
采用超短回波时间序列,使用短硬脉冲或两个较长的半脉冲激发信号,研究了牛皮质骨的 T1 和 T2随水分损失的变化。制备了 9 个牛股骨样本,依次进行空气干燥和烘箱干燥。空气干燥 3 天后,平均有 3.42%的骨重量损失,100°C 烘箱干燥 24 h 后,再有 5.98%的骨重量损失。在每次重量损失 1%后测量 T1 和 T2,在干燥过程结束时达到 9-10%的骨重量损失。两种干燥方式后,使用硬脉冲测量时,整体 T1 从 153±18 ms 降低到 102±17 ms,降低了 33%;使用半脉冲时,从 186±25 ms 降低到 122±23 ms,降低了 33%。使用硬脉冲时,T2从 368±29 μs 降低到 201±19 μs,降低了 45-50%;使用半脉冲时,从 379±35 μs 降低到 191±17 μs,降低了 45-50%。空气干燥后,在前 3-4%的骨水损失中,T1 和 T2观察到稳定的 26-31%下降。100°C 烘箱干燥 24 h 后,T1 进一步降低了 4%,但 T2*降低了 25%。
