Can the greater trochanter/femoral neck signal intensity ratio on coronal T1 weighted images of the hip differentiate normal-abnormal bone mineral density?

Unlabelled: A simple index calculated by dividing the greater trochanter signal intensity by that of the femoral neck on coronal T1-weighted magnetic resonance images of the hip may be useful as an opportunistic screening tool to differentiate normal vs. abnormal bone mineral density.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the greater trochanter/femoral neck (T/N) signal intensity (SI) ratio on T1 weighted images of the hip in differentiating patients with normal vs.
