Description

Object The goal of this studywas to determine the feasibility of performing quantitative 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment of trabecular bone micro-architecture of the wrist, a common fracture site. Materials and methods The wrists of 4 healthy subjects (1woman, 3men, 28پ}8.9 years) were scanned on a 7Twhole body MR scanner using a 3D fast low-angle shot (FLASH) sequence (TR/TE=20/4.5ms, 0.169پ~0.169پ~0.5mm).Trabecular bone was segmented and divided into 4 or 8 angular subregions. Total bone volume (TBV), bone volume fraction (BVF), surface-curve ratio (SC), and erosion index (EI) were computed. Subjects were scanned twice to assess measurement reproducibility. Results Group mean subregional values for TBV, BVF, SC, and EI (8 subregion analysis) were as follows: 8489 پ} 3686, 0.27 پ} 0.045, 9.61 پ} 6.52; and 1.43 پ} 1.25. Within each individual, there was subregional variation in TBV, SC, and EI (>5%), but not BVF (<5%). Intersubject variation (.12%) existed for all parameters. Within-subject coefficients of variation were .10%. Conclusion This is the first study to perform quantitative 7T MRI assessment of trabecular bone micro-architecture of the wrist. This method could be utilized to study perturbations in bone structure in subjects with osteoporosis or other bone disorders.
