Purpose To determine if 3-T magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of proximal femur microarchitecture can allow discrimination of subjects with and without fragility fracture who do not have osteoporotic proximal femur bone mineral density (BMD). Materials and Methods Sixty postmenopausal women (30 with and 30 without fragility fracture) who had BMD T scores of greater than -2.5 in the hip were recruited. All subjects underwent dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry to assess BMD and 3-T MR imaging of the same hip to assess bone microarchitecture. World Health Organization Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) scores were also computed. We used the Mann-Whitney test, receiver operating characteristics analyses, and Spearman correlation estimates to assess differences between groups, discriminatory ability with parameters, and correlations among BMD, microarchitecture, and FRAX scores. Results Patients with versus without fracture showed a lower trabecular plate-to-rod ratio (median, 2.41 vs 4.53, respectively), lower trabecular plate width (0.556 mm vs 0.630 mm, respectively), and lower trabecular thickness (0.114 mm vs 0.126 mm) within the femoral neck, and higher trabecular rod disruption (43.5 vs 19.0, respectively), higher trabecular separation (0.378 mm vs 0.323 mm, respectively), and lower trabecular number (0.158 vs 0.192, respectively), lower trabecular connectivity (0.015 vs 0.027, respectively) and lower trabecular plate-to-rod ratio (6.38 vs 8.09, respectively) in the greater trochanter (P < .05 for all). Trabecular plate-to-rod ratio, plate width, and thickness within the femoral neck (areas under the curve [AUCs], 0.654-0.683) and trabecular rod disruption, number, connectivity, plate-to-rod ratio, and separation within the greater trochanter (AUCs, 0.662-0.694) allowed discrimination of patients with fracture from control subjects. Femoral neck, total hip, and spine BMD did not differ between and did not allow discrimination between groups. FRAX scores including and not including BMD allowed discrimination between groups (AUCs, 0.681-0.773). Two-factor models (one MR imaging microarchitectural parameter plus a FRAX score without BMD) allowed discrimination between groups (AUCs, 0.702-0.806). There were no linear correlations between BMD and microarchitectural parameters (Spearman ρ, -0.198 to 0.196). Conclusion 3-T MR imaging of proximal femur microarchitecture allows discrimination between subjects with and without fragility fracture who have BMD T scores of greater than -2.5 and may provide different information about bone quality than that provided by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry.

确定 3T 磁共振(MR)成像能否区分股骨近端微结构存在差异但骨密度(BMD)未达骨质疏松症诊断标准的脆性骨折患者和非脆性骨折患者。
本研究纳入 60 名绝经后女性(30 名脆性骨折患者,30 名非脆性骨折患者),所有患者髋部 BMD T 评分均大于-2.5。所有患者均接受双能 X 线吸收法测定 BMD 和 3T MR 成像检查,以评估骨微结构。还使用世界卫生组织骨折风险评估工具(FRAX)评分进行评估。采用 Mann-Whitney 检验、受试者工作特征曲线分析和 Spearman 相关系数评估进行组间差异、参数的鉴别能力以及 BMD、微结构和 FRAX 评分之间的相关性。
与无骨折患者相比,有骨折患者的股骨颈内的骨小梁板-杆比(中位数分别为 2.41 和 4.53)、骨小梁板宽度(0.556 mm 和 0.630 mm)和骨小梁厚度(0.114 mm 和 0.126 mm)更低,而股骨颈内的骨小梁杆破坏(43.5 和 19.0)、骨小梁分离(0.378 mm 和 0.323 mm)和骨小梁数量(0.158 和 0.192)更低,骨小梁连通性(0.015 和 0.027)和骨小梁板-杆比(6.38 和 8.09)更低(P 均<.05)。股骨颈内的骨小梁板-杆比、板宽度和厚度(曲线下面积 [AUCs],0.654-0.683)和股骨颈内的骨小梁杆破坏、数量、连通性、板-杆比和分离(AUCs,0.662-0.694)可区分脆性骨折患者和对照组。股骨颈、全髋和脊柱 BMD 在组间无差异,也不能区分组间差异。包括和不包括 BMD 的 FRAX 评分可以区分组间差异(AUCs,0.681-0.773)。双因素模型(一个 MR 成像微结构参数加一个不包括 BMD 的 FRAX 评分)可以区分组间差异(AUCs,0.702-0.806)。BMD 和微结构参数之间无线性相关性(Spearman ρ值,-0.198 至 0.196)。
3T MR 成像可区分 BMD T 评分大于-2.5 的脆性骨折和非脆性骨折患者,并且可能提供与双能 X 线吸收法不同的骨质量信息。
