Zusammenfassung:An apparatus includes a magnetic resonance imaging system, a processor for controlling the apparatus, and a memory containing machine executable instructions and a pulse sequence. The machine executable instructions and pulse sequence cause the processor to control the apparatus to: acquire magnetic resonance data from an imaging volume, wherein the magnetic resonance data includes gradient echo data; segment the magnetic resonance data into a plurality of segments, the segments including a fat segment, a water segment, a cortical bone segment, and an air segment; and create a bulk density map of the imaging volume from the segments.
