The Role of Bone Marrow Fat in Skeletal Health: Usefulness and perspectives for clinicians.

CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that most human data demonstrate an inverse relationship between BMF and BMD, but data on the relationship with fractures is inconsistent and needs further study. In daily practice, the usefulness for clinicians of assessing BMF using MRI is still limited. However, the perspectives are exciting, particularly in terms of improving the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis. PMID: 26244490 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
