Yale University researchers have developed a new way of seeing inside solid objects. The technique, a novel kind of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), creates three-dimensional images of hard and soft solids based on signals emitted by their phosphorus content. The image here shows the interior spongy bone of a rabbit femoral head, or the "ball" of the rabbit's hip bone.
