UTE-MRI-based
estimation of collagen and water proton contents in tibial midshaft were
significantly different between OPo, OPe, and healthy control subjects. UTE-MRI
measures in tibial midshaft were significantly correlated with hip DEXA
T-score.

representative UTE-Cones-MT MRI image of the lower leg of a 37-year-old female
subject. A representative region of interest is depicted on cortical bone in
tibial midshaft (yellow).

TWPD, (C) BWPD, (D) PWPD, (E) MMPD, and (F) T1 values in OPe, OPo, and Ctrl
cohorts. Average, median, SD, first, and third quartiles values are indicated
in the boxplots.
