Fractal lacunarity of trabecular bone and magnetic resonance imaging: New perspectives for osteoporotic fracture risk assessment

Figure 6 Set of images from magnetic resonance imaging spin-echo. Nine axial images of the fourth lumbar vertebra obtained by magnetic resonance imaging multislice technique. Acquisition of the set of axial images of vertebral body to visualize the inner trabecular bone portion is performed from bottom (A: lower base) to top (I: upper base).
