IDEAL-IQ can quantitatively evaluate the fat fraction of lumbar vertebral and evaluate the risk of osteoporosis in diabetic patients. PDFF measurements at MR are highly reproducible between different field strengths, which is of guiding value for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
Fig.3. (a)Comparison of average PDFF values of lumbar vertebral among three groups. (b)Relationship of PDFF value and BMD. As the PDFF values increase, the bone mineral density decreases.
