MRI for Monitoring Osteoporosis Therapy Response

Brief description of study

Patients will undergo a DXA scan to measure bone mineral density and a non-contrast (=3 T) MRI scan of the hip to assess bone microarchitectural and strength parameters. For patients who cannot tolerate the MRI scan of the hip, which requires being inside the scanner all the way, we can offer scanning of the more distal extremities (either distal femur, tibia, or radius), which will still allow assessment of bone microarchitecture. As stated above, we will also record clinical data, which are obtained as part of standard-of-care, including subjects’ FRAX scores, lab tests, and disease activity scores.
