Schematic diagram T1 relaxation time measurement. (A) A conventional T1WI image with few artifacts, high signal-to-noise ratio, and good display of L1-5 vertebral structure and signal characteristics. (B) MAGiC T1 image showed poor display of L1 and L5 vertebrae (indicated with red arrows), mainly due to heavy respiratory motion artifacts. Thus, L2-4 vertebrae were selected for measurements. (C) The maximum ROI included the cancellous bone of the entire vertebrae, avoided the bone cortex and intervertebral disc as indicated with yellow rectangles. (D) The image of L2-4 BMD measured by bone density meter
