Abstract
A device for non-invasively assessing bone strength includes an encoder for establishing a spatial frequency encode that is in a k-space vector form (.lamda..sub.k=mi+nj). Importantly, the encode has a magnitude that corresponds to a spatial characteristic that is indicative of bone strength. A magnet creates a magnetic field, and an antenna is used to radiate the bone in the magnetic field with a single encoded energy pulse to generate an encoded response signal from the bone. A computer/comparator then compares the encoded response signal with a base value to assess bone strength.
