 Using histogram analysis of IDEAL-IQ and bi-component analysis of UTE sequence to study chronic kidney disease-Mineral bone disease
Figure 2. Representative bi-component analysis of UTE on L4 with four echoes.
Figure 3 ROC curve of lumbar bone marrow IDEAL-IQ for differentiating patients with 30 < eGFR < 90 from patients with eGFR < 15. The area under the curve [AUC] of L4-water-kurt and L3-R2*-max were 0.856 (p= 0.009) and 0.822 (p= 0.018), respectively. Abbreviations: L4-water-kurt, kurtosis of water image in L4; L3-R2*-max, maximum R2* value in L3
