Bone Abstracts

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used clinically to assess bone marrow, muscle and joints. The assessment of cortical and trabecular structure using MRI may provide further insight into the muscle–bone–bone marrow unit. Previous studies using MRI to evaluate microarchitecture are confined to research due to the need for specially adapted coils and navigator software to limit motion artifact. We present a novel statistical method using HRpQCT to determi...
