Opportunistic Use of Lumbar Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Osteoporosis Screening

A. Kadri et al.

Summary: The opportunistic use of MRI with the vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score has good diagnostic ability in recognizing patients who may need further osteoporosis evaluation. A VBQ > 3.0 can help identify patients who need additional diagnostic evaluation, making MRI a simple and effective tool for assessing patients at risk for complications related to bone disease.

MRI-based vertebral bone quality score effectively reflects bone quality in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compressive fractures

Ruoyao Li et al.

Summary: The present study aims to validate the effectiveness of the vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score in evaluating bone quality in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) compared to the T-score by DXA. The study also investigates the sensitivity of VBQ score with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of L2 and L3 segments as a baseline. The results suggest that the VBQ score is a reliable indicator of bone quality in OVCF patients, especially those over 60 years old, and comparable to the T-score. However, the VBQ score is not sensitive to CSF of different segments as a baseline.

Preoperative MRI-based vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score assessment in patients undergoing lumbar spinal fusion

Stephan N. Salzmann et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between VBQ and spine QCT BMD measurements and assess whether the VBQ score can predict the presence of osteopenia/osteoporosis diagnosed with QCT. The results showed that the VBQ score had moderate diagnostic ability to differentiate patients with normal BMD versus osteopenic/osteoporotic BMD based on QCT.

Bone quality in patients with osteoporosis undergoing lumbar fusion surgery: analysis of the MRI-based vertebral bone quality score and the bone microstructure derived from microcomputed tomography

Henryk Haffer et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the association between VBQ score and trabecular microstructure determined by mu CT for the first time. Bone microstructure and VBQ score exhibit significant differences in patients with impaired vBMD. However, the predictive ability of the VBQ score for osteopenia/osteoporosis is moderate.

Vertebral bone quality score predicts fragility fractures independently of bone mineral density

Jeff Ehresman et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate whether the MRI-derived VBQ score can predict fragility fractures in high-risk patients, and the results showed a significant association between VBQ score and fragility fractures, which outperformed the predictive value of DXA bone mineral density measurement.

Interrater and Intrarater Reliability of the Vertebral Bone Quality Score

Andrew T. Schilling et al.

Summary: In this study, reviewers demonstrated moderate to excellent reliability for the VBQ score and excellent reliability for all constituent components. Inter-rater reliability was also found to be good for both rounds of assessment, indicating consistent scoring across different reviewers.

Opportunistic Screening Using Low-Dose CT and the Prevalence of Osteoporosis in China: A Nationwide, Multicenter Study

Xiaoguang Cheng et al.

Summary: This study explored the feasibility of opportunistic screening for osteoporosis using LDCT in a large population cohort of Chinese men and women. The prevalence of osteoporosis in Chinese population over 50 years old was found to be 29.0% for women and 13.5% for men, with geographical and age-related variations observed. Further cohort studies are needed to evaluate the clinical utility of such screening in terms of fracture prevention and national health economic analyses.
