Optimising Region of Interest Characteristics and Standardisation Methodologies for Lumbar Magnetic Resonance Imaging Vertebral Bone Quality Scoring: Reproducibility, Precision, and Validation for Thoracolumbar Fragility Fractures.

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multi-cohort methodological and validation study. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of region of interest (ROI) size, placement, and calibration on MRI-derived vertebral bone quality (VBQ), and to assess the performance of VBQ methodologies for fragility fracture discrimination. SUMMARY OF...

Review Open access Aug 2026

Comparing lumbar computed tomography Hounsfield units and magnetic resonance imaging vertebral bone quality scores for diagnosing osteoporosis and osteopenia in degenerative spinal populations: a systematic review and diagnostic meta-analysis.

Both HU and VBQ offer useful assessments of vertebral bone quality, but HU provides higher and more stable diagnostic accuracy, demonstrating higher sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for detecting osteopenia and osteoporosis.
