MRI-Based Vertebral Bone Quality Score Can Predict the Imminent New Vertebral Fracture After Vertebral Augmentation

The incidence of imminent new vertebral fracture (NVF) is notably high after vertebral augmentation (VA), but accurately assessing the imminent risk of NVF remains a great challenge. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the MRI-based vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score can predict the risk of imminent NVF after VA within a 2-year period.
