Development of a compact MRI system for trabecular bone microstructure measurements of the distal radius.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A compact MRI system for trabecular bone (TB) microstructure measurements of the distal radius was developed using a 1.0 T permanent magnet and a compact MRI console. TB microstructure of the distal radius was clearly visualized using a three-dimensional (3D) driven equilibrium spin-echo (DESE) sequence in 23 min. The image obtained had a sufficient spatial resolution (150 microm x 150 microm x 500 microm) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) (approximately 10) for 3D bone microstructure analysis. The system demonstrated the feasibility of using a permanent magnet compact MRI system as a clinical instrument for bone microstructure measurements of the distal radius.

In vivo assessment of the trabecular bone microstructure of the distal radius using a compact MRI system.
We repeatedly measured the trabecular bone (TB) microstructure of the distal radius in 5 healthy volunteers using a compact magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system to evaluate the reproducibility of the TB structural parameters. The compact system was specially developed with a 1.0-tesla permanent magnet for the distal radius in a previous study. We measured the distal radius using a 3-dimension...
متن کاملUse of MR-based trabecular bone microstructure analysis at the distal radius for osteoporosis diagnostics: a study in post-menopausal women with breast cancer and treated with aromatase inhibitor.
PURPOSE Treatment with aromatase inhibitor (AI) is recommended for post-menopausal women with hormone-receptor positive breast cancer. However, AI therapy is known to induce bone loss leading to osteoporosis with an increased risk for fragility fractures. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether changes of magnetic resonance (MR)-based trabecular bone microstructure parameters as ad...
متن کاملDevelopment of a compact MRI system for measuring the trabecular bone microstructure of the finger.
A compact MRI system for measuring the trabecular bone (TB) microstructure of the finger using a high-field-strength (1.0T) permanent magnet was developed. The entire system was installed in a 0.6 mx1.2 m space. One male and 36 female subjects participated in the imaging experiments. The TB of the distal phalanx of the middle finger was imaged at a voxel resolution of (160 microm)3 using a thre...
متن کاملAge-Related Changes in Trabecular and Cortical Bone Microstructure
The elderly population has substantially increased worldwide. Aging is a complex process, and the effects of aging are myriad and insidious, leading to progressive deterioration of various organs, including the skeleton. Age-related bone loss and resultant osteoporosis in the elderly population increase the risk for fractures and morbidity. Osteoporosis is one of the most common conditions asso...
متن کاملBone three-dimensional microstructural features of the common osteoporotic fracture sites.
Osteoporosis is a common metabolic skeletal disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and deteriorated bone structure, leading to increased susceptibility to fractures. With aging population, osteoporotic fractures are of global health and socioeconomic importance. The three-dimensional microstructural information of the common osteoporosis-related fracture sites, including vertebra, femora...
