Lower Macromolecular Content in Tendons of Female Patients with Osteoporosis versus Patients with Osteopenia Detected by Ultrashort Echo Time (UTE) MRI

Lower Macromolecular Content in Tendons of Female Patients with Osteoporosis versus Patients with Osteopenia Detected by Ultrashort Echo Time (UTE) MRI

Tendons and bones comprise a special interacting unit where mechanical, biochemical, and metabolic interplays are continuously in effect. Bone loss in osteoporosis (OPo) and its earlier stage disease, osteopenia (OPe), may be coupled with a reduction in tendon quality. Noninvasive means for quantita...
