Article Synopsis
- * The porosity index (PI) serves as an indirect measure of bone strength, but traditional MRI methods struggle to adequately assess bone architecture due to tightly bound water protons.
- * A novel dual-echo ultra-short echo time (UTE) MRI technique was used to calculate PI from cadaver specimens, revealing an inverse correlation between PI and bone mineral density (BMD), indicating the need for further research on correlation patterns and PI's relevance in horses with stress injuries.
Background: Low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely available to equine veterinarians yet is insensitive at detecting cartilage damage in the distal interphalangeal joint (DIPJ). T2 mapping is a quantitative imaging technique that can detect cartilage damage before morphological change is apparent.
Objectives: Validation of a T2 mapping sequence on a low-field MR system.
