RE: origin of signal from bone in musculoskeleton imaging protocols

Recently, I have been looking at Imaging for other body parts, specifically MSK protocols, where one can also see the bone as bright / moderately hyperintense structure in the image. I am wondering, how does the bone appear with such sufficient signal in these protocols? What parameters (and how) are used to make the bony structures appear visible (and bright) ? Not sure what you are looking at, but bone contains marrow (blood elements and fat), vascular channels, and especially in the spine, hemangiomas (venous malformations). Any of these can appear bright on certain pulse sequences. |
