Recovery Effects of a 180 mT Static Magnetic Field on Bone Mineral Density of Osteoporotic Lumbar Vertebrae in Ovariectomized Rats
Figure 2
A magnet was implanted to the right side of spinous process of the third lumbar vertebra (L3). (a) Spatial distribution of the magnetic flux density values in lumbar vertebrae (unit: mT). Arrows show the direction of DXA beam under measurement after removal of the magnet. Encircled number indicates each lumbar vertebra. (b) Spatial distribution of the magnetic flux density values in a lumbar vertebra L3 (unit: mT). N: north-seeking side; S: south-seeking side.
