TL;DR
DTS imaging of vertebrae reveals distinct bone size and microstructure characteristics in patients with T2DM, and thus may be clinically useful to explain increased fracture risk in T2DM beyond DXA.
VBQ can serve as an opportunistic exploratory screening marker of low BMD and FBQcsf may complement VBQ by identifying early marrow-related changes, although further validation is required.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus patients showed a markedly higher prevalence of vertebral fractures and lower femoral neck BMD compared with healthy controls, suggesting a potential role of phosphate metabolism in diabetic bone fragility.
BACKGROUND Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are prevalent but frequently remain unrecognized. While bone mineral density (BMD) is the primary assessment tool, MRI-based parameters associated with bone and muscle quality may offer additional value, yet sex-specific analyses are limited, despite sex d...
Introduction: Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder that increases the risk of fragility fracture and constitutes a major global health burden. Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) is the clinical reference standard for Bone Mineral Density (BMD) assessment but, as a two-dimensional projection technique, does...
In patients undergoing cervical spine surgery, C-VBQ demonstrates consistent associations with C-HU and DXA T-scores, supporting its potential for opportunistic preoperative bone quality assessment and Integrating radiological indicators such as C-VBQ and C-HU with DXA and BTMs may enable a more comprehensive, but stil...
Background: To characterize skeletal and metabolic profiles in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), their coexistence (T2DM+osteoporosis), and healthy controls using biochemical markers, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomo...
