==Overview==
An [[MRI]] provides a microstructural detail of the bone. It is very helpful in vertebral [[compression fracture]]s. The short tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequence of an MRI is very sensitive for detecting vertebral [[edema]], which results from fresh fractures or micro-fractures.
[[Magnetic resonance imaging|Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)]] technique is very precise in measuring [[trabecular bone]] structure. MRI is a suitable replacement for multiple sites [[bone]] [[biopsy]]. Although 20% of the [[skeleton]] consists of [[Trabecular bone|trabecular bones]], they have the highest impression from [[metabolic]] stimuli. In contrast with [[Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry|DEXA]] which measures both [[Trabecular bone|trabecular]] and [[Cortical bone|cortical]] at the same time, [[Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]] would be a better choice. The most impressive aspect of [[Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]] in diagnosing osteoporosis is the ability to take ''[[in vivo]]'' images of [[Trabecular bone|trabecular bones]]. The plain [[resolution]] starts at about 150 μm and slice thickness starts at 300 μm; measuring [[Trabecular bone|trabecular bones]] precisely.

Overview

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique is very precise in measuring trabecular bone structure. MRI is a suitable replacement for multiple sites bone biopsy. Although 20% of the skeleton consists of trabecular bones, they have the highest impression from metabolic stimuli. In contrast with DEXA which measures both trabecular and cortical at the same time, MRI would be a better choice. The most impressive aspect of MRI in diagnosing osteoporosis is the ability to take in vivo images of trabecular bones. The plain resolution starts at about 150 μm and slice thickness starts at 300 μm; measuring trabecular bones precisely.
