Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses a large magnetic field and radio waves to generate
images of tissues in the body. Conventional MRI techniques have been developed to image …

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease with a high prevalence worldwide, characterized
by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, predisposing an individual to fragility …

There is growing recognition of the role of micro-architecture in osteoporotic bone loss and
fragility. This trend has been driven by advances in imaging technology, which have …

Background Preclinical studies have suggested that solid-state MRI markers of cortical bone
porosity, morphologic structure, mineralization, and osteoid density are useful measures of …

Osteoporosis is a disease of weak bone and increased fracture risk caused by low bone
mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue. The standard‐of‐care test used to …

Abstract Purpose of Review Patients with inflammatory arthropathies have a high rate of
fragility fractures. Diagnostic assessment and monitoring of bone density and quality are …

Water constitutes roughly a quarter of the cortical bone by volume yet can greatly influence
mechanical properties and tissue quality. There is a growing appreciation for how water can …

Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as “a systemic skeletal
disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue” …

A complex interplay of genetic, environmental, hormonal, and behavioral factors affect
skeletal development, several of which are associated with childhood fractures. Given the …

Background Investigation of cortical bone using magnetic resonance imaging is a
developing field, which uses short/ultrashort echo time (TE) pulse sequences to quantify …
