Ultra-short echo time MRI (uTE-MRI) allows exploration of the role of cortical bone properties in osteoporosis. OP can be primary or can also be induced by drugs such as glucocorticoids (glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, GIO).No previous studies have assessed cortical porosity in GIO patients compared to OP patients.Our aim was to perform uTE-MRI of cortical bone of the proximal femur (a common site of fracture) in GIO patients and compare the results to those of OP patients using a bi-exponential fitting procedure of uTE images.
