In trabecular bone the NMR linewidth is found to be governed by the magnetic field inhomogeneity arising from the difference in magnetic permeability between bone and marrow. T2* was measured in vivo in the distal femur by interferometry and localized spectroscopy. Both methods showed T2* to be inversely related to trabecular plate density.
