Description
The research protocol was reviewed by the Ethics Committee of the University Hospital of Oulu. MRI scans were obtained with a 1.5-T unit (Sigma, General Electric, Milwaukee, WI, USA) with a Phased Array CTL Spine Coil (USA Instruments, Aurora, OH, USA). We measured mediolateral and anteroposterior dimensions from the fourth lumbar vertebra (L4) to estimate vertebral size and to calculate the CSA of the vertebral body.
