ObjectivesBone marrow fat is inversely correlated with bone mineral density. The aim of this study is to present a method to quantify alveolar bone marrow fat content using a 15T MRI scanner.Study DesignA 15T MRI scanner with a 13-mm ID loop-gap radiofrequency coil was used to scan seven 3 mm diameter alveolar bone biopsy specimens. A 3D gradient-echo (GRE) T1-weighted pulse sequence was chosen to obtain images. All images were obtained with a voxel size (58 µm3) sufficient to resolve trabecular spaces. Automated volume of the bone marrow fat content and derived bone volume fraction (BV/TV) were calculated. Results were compared with actual BV/TV obtained from micro-CT scans.ResultsMean fat tissue volume was 20.1 ± 11%. There was a significantly strong inverse correlation between fat tissue volume and BV/TV (r = –0.68, p = 0.045). Furthermore, there was a strong agreement between BV/TV derived from MRI and obtained with Micro-CT (ICC = 0.92, p = 0.001).ConclusionBone marrow fat of small alveolar bone biopsy specimens can be quantified with sufficient spatial resolution using an ultra-high-field MRI scanner and a T1-weighted pulse sequence.
