Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become less dense and more fragile, increasing the risk of fractures. It develops silently over many years and is often only discovered after a fracture occurs. An MRI may show changes in bone marrow signal and vertebral structure consistent with reduced bone density. Identifying signs of osteoporosis early allows for treatment and lifestyle changes that may help strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk. DEXA scanning is the gold standard for bone density measurement, however MRI can show vertebral changes and bone marrow signal consistent with reduced bone density.
