MRI-derived bone porosity index correlates to bone composition and mechanical stiffness

The MRI-derived porosity index (PI) is a non-invasively obtained biomarker based on an ultrashort echo time sequence that images both bound and pore water protons in bone, corresponding to water bound to organic collagenous matrix and freely moving water, respectively. This measure is known to stron...
