The 3D adiabatic inversion recovery prepared ultrashort TE cones (3D IR-UTE) sequence can image and quantify proton density assessment of short T2 water components in trabecular bone in vivo, and has the potential to diagnosis people with osteoporosis. The current study aims to prospective investigate the performance in diagnosing osteoporosis of IR-UTE sequence in human lumbar and to compare with quantitative computed tomography (QCT), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) scores. It was concluded that IR-UTE was positively correlated to QCT and DXA, and was negatively correlated to FRAX scores.
