The purpose of our study was to clarify the relationship between fast and slow diffusing components obtained diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and trabecular bone structure with an original phantom. Our original phantom enables to analyze restricted diffusion, and this analytical method could obtain more detailed information of trabecular bone structure.
