Magnetic Resonance Imaging,ges in bone quality and structure independent of BMD influence both bone strength and propensity to fracture. The influence of these other factors may partially explain the observed overlap in bone mineral measurements between patients with and patients without osteoporotic fractures. Thus, several

Currently there is substantial interest in better measuring bone quality and pharmaceutical companies are interested in using these measures as biomarkers in drug trials.

The most commonly used methods are dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and quantitative computed tomography (QCT), which together with conventional radiographs constitute the basic diagnostic modalities. All of these have been described in detail in previous chapters. Additionally, c
