Abstract:
:The recent advancement of high resolution magnetic resonance imaging has opened up new avenues for the determination of structural characteristics of the trabecular network, which may significantly improve the diagnosis of osteoporosis. An analysis of the calcaneus in healthy women has shown similar age-related changes when comparing structural parameters in high resolution MR images and BMD as measured by DXA [1]. Here we undertook an in vitro study to further compare structural measurements in MR images with those from stained grindings. A 3D gradient echo sequence on a 1.5 T scanner was used to obtain four contiguous sagittal MR images with a slice thickness of 1 mm and an in plane pixel size of 195 microns. Twenty-one stained grindings with a slice thickness of 1 micron each were obtained from a 3 mm thick slab of the same volume investigated by MR. The stack of stained grindings was also used to simulate the influence of variations in slice thickness and in plane resolution. Results for structural parameters derived from the high resolution MR images differed considerably from those derived from the stained grindings because the MR images are heavily influenced by partial volume artifacts. This finding was supported by simulations which also revealed that even at a slice thickness of 500 microns and an in plane pixel size of 13 microns, accurate results could not be obtained when a histomorphometric type analysis was applied. Results also depended strongly on the segmentation method. However, contrary to the stained grindings, images averaged over several slices reveal the three-dimensional network character of the trabecular structure. New efforts should be undertaken to develop analysis strategies that are more adequate for in vivo high resolution images instead of using analysis techniques applied in classical histomorphometry.
