A Feasibility Study on Quantifying Cortical Bone Free Water Longitudinal Relaxation Time Employing Short-TE MRI Technique at 3T

Introduction: Aging is an important factor affecting bone quality, culminating in cortical bone thinning, increasing the number and size of the pores. As a consequence of these alterations, the free water molecules mobility augments and their longitudinal relaxation time (T1) increases. An MRI with...
