In this study, we investigated the relationship between vertebral R2* and FF based on IDEAL-IQ sequences and BMD based on QCT, and then performed diagnostic experiments. The results revealed a definite but weak linear relationship between R2* with FF and BMD, which has limited value as a diagnostic indicator for OP and osteopenia, but has some potential as a complement to FF and BMD for fine quantification of bone marrow conversion and bone mineral loss.
