The q-Dixon sequence for MRI predicts osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures
The FF values of the lumbar spine measured by the q-Dixon sequence can help predict OVCF risk and provide complementary information to BMD measurements. The FF value of L2 vertebrae has the best prediction efficiency. However, these findings should be interpreted with caution given the relatively small sample size (n=45) and manual ROI segmentation method used in this study.
