This project aims to develop a new diagnostic imaging technique using Magnetic Resonance Imaging to assess bone quality and osteoporosis. By quantifying free and bound water molecules in cortical bone, the technique seeks to provide a more comprehensive understanding of bone health compared to traditional methods.
Osteoporosis weakens bones and increases the risk of unexpected fractures.
Worldwide, it causes over 8.9M fractures annually.
Cortical bone consists of 3 major parts; minerals, organic matrix and water.
Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is the most widespread marker to assess bone quality.
There is recent evidence, however, that bone mineralisation offers only an incomplete view of bone quality.
In turn, bone water (including free and bound water molecules) does convey richer information about bone qua…
