BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Increased fat content in vertebrae may indicate bone
weakness. Vertebral proton MR spectroscopy (1H MRS) quantitatively measures vertebral …

OBJECTIVE. Bone weakening can be affected by agents other than bone mineral density
(BMD). Increased bone marrow fat may have a direct link to bone loss. This pilot study …

Purpose To use proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H‐MRS) to evaluate vertebral
marrow fat, and to determine whether bone density correlates with fat content and fat …

Fifty-seven subjects underwent proton magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy of the
second lumbar vertebra to evaluate single-voxel and multivoxel techniques. Measurements …

Purpose: To determine the reproducibility of proton MR spectroscopy (1H‐MRS) for
assessing vertebral bone marrow adiposity at 3 Tesla (T); to evaluate variation of marrow …

Purpose: To investigate vertebral bone marrow fat content in elderly subjects related to sex,
age, and bone mineral density (BMD) and relate these findings to published data in younger …

Study Design. Prospective study. Objectives. To assess the proton MR spectroscopy (1 H
MRS) of vertebral bone marrow and correlate the lipid water ratio (LWR) and spectral line …

A total of 88 subjects were enrolled to investigate the relationship between paraspinal
muscle fatty infiltration and lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) using chemical shift …

The bone marrow proton density fat fraction (PDFF) assessed with MRI enables the
differentiation between osteoporotic/osteopenic patients with and without vertebral fractures …

Correct interpretation of 1H magnetic resonance (MR) studies of the red vertebral bone
marrow in patients with disorders of the hematopoietic system requires knowledge of the …
