Trabecular Bone Structure of the Calcaneus: Comparison of MR Imaging at 3.0 and 1.5 T with Micro-CT as the Standard of Reference

Abstract

MR imaging at 3.0 T provided a better measure of the trabecular bone structure than did MR imaging at 1.5 T. There was a trend for better differentiation of donors with from those without osteoporotic vertebral fractures at 3.0 T than at 1.5 T.
