Abstract

Purpose: To develop a method for measuring bone mineral density (BMD) with MRI, and to validate this method against quantitative computed tomography (QCT). Materials and Methods: A mathematical relationship between signal intensities from proton-density-weighted in-phase images generated by multi-fat-peak T [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
