Popis: OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of three-dimensional Fat Analysis & Calculation Technique sequence in improving the diagnostic accuracy for the detection of osteopenia and osteoporosis by simultaneous quantification of proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and fat-corrected R2∗. METHODS Fat Analysis & Calculation Technique imaging of lumbar spine was obtained in 99 postmenopausal women including 52 normal bone mass, 29 osteopenia, and 18 osteoporosis. The diagnostic performance of PDFF and R2∗ in the differentiation of different bone-density groups was evaluated with the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS The reproducibility of PDFF and R2∗ measures was satisfactory with the root mean square coefficient of variation, 2.16% and 2.70%, respectively. The intra- and interobserver agreements for the PDFF and R2∗ were excellent with the intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.9 for all. There were significant differences in PDFF and R2∗ among the three groups (P
