Abstract

Purpose: To use proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H‐MRS) to evaluate vertebral marrow fat, and to determine whether bone density correlates with fat content and fat unsaturation levels in postmenopausal women. Materials and Methods: Fifty‐three women (mean age = 70 years) underwent dual energy x‐ray absorptiometry and 1 H‐MRS, and 12 young female controls (mean age = 28 years) underwent 1 H‐MRS of the lumber spine. Water and lipid peak amplitudes were measured to calculate fat content and fat unsaturation index. Spearman's correlation tests and a t‐test comparison of means were applied. Results: 1 H‐MRS was successful in 15 normal, 15 osteopenic, and 20 osteoporotic subjects, and in all controls. Marrow fat content was significantly elevated in osteoporotic (65.5% ± 10%) and osteopenic (63.5% ± 9.3%) subjects compared to normal subjects (56.3% ± 11.2%) and young controls (29% ± 9.6%). The fat unsaturation index was significantly decreased in osteoporotic (0.091 ± 0.013) and osteopenic (0.097 ± 0.014) subjects compared to normal subjects (0.114 ± 0.016) and young controls (0.127 ± 0.031). A good inverse correlation was observed between the fat content and the unsaturation index (r s = −0.53, P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Osteoporosis is associated with increased marrow fat. As marrow fat increases, saturated lipids appear to increase preferentially to unsaturated lipids. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2005;22:279–285. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
