MRI signal intensity per vertebral volume: a novel biomarker in pediatric osteoporosis
MRI signal intensity per unit vertebral volume showed superior performance in detecting low BMD compared to existing MRI-based indices. This parameter offers a radiation-free, size-adjusted alternative to DXA, particularly valuable in pediatric patients requiring long-term monitoring.
