Osteoporosis is a bone disease that predominately affects postmenopausal women. Routine screening of osteoporosis is performed by means of Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) which is limited by its inability to differentiate between cortical and trabecular bone, reduced accuracy due to overlying tissue and the use of ionising radiation. In this abstract, we investigate the use of MRI as an alternative, in a cohort of 95 Chinese-Singaporean postmenopausal women. Strong correlations with DXA measurements were observed, in addition to significant differences between the normal and osteopenic, normal and osteoporotic groups.
