Accuracy of high‐resolution in vivo micro magnetic resonance imaging for measurements of microstructural and mechanical properties of human distal tibial bone

Micro magnetic resonance imaging (µMRI) is an in vivo imaging method that permits 3D quantification of cortical and trabecular bone microstructure. µMR images can also be used for building microstructural finite element (µFE) models to assess bone stiffness, which highly correlates with bone's resistance to fractures. In order for µMRI‐based microstructural and µFE analyses to become standard clinical tools for assessing bone quality, validation...
