BackgroundDiabetes decreases bone strength, possibly because of cortical bone changes. Sweep imaging with Fourier transform (SWIFT) has been reported to be useful for cortical bone evaluation.PurposeTo evaluate cortical bone changes in diabetic rats using SWIFT, assess the usefulness of this technique through comparisons with microcomputed tomography (CT) and conventional MRI, and clarify the mechanism underlying cortical bone changes using histomorphometryStudy TypeAnimal cohort.Animal Model8-week-old male Wistar/ST rats (N=36) were divided into diabetes (induced by streptozotocin injection) and control groups.Field Strength/Sequence7.04T MRI, SWIFT.AssessmentSix animals from each group were sacrificed at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after injection. Tibial bones were extracted and evaluated using CT and MRI. The cortical bone mineral density (BMD) was measured using CT. Proton density-weighted imaging (PDWI) and SWIFT were also performed. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was calculated for each acquisition. The bone formation rate was evaluated using histomorphometry.Statistical TestsFindings at each timepoint were compared using Mann-Whitney U-tests.ResultsCortical BMD was significantly lower in the diabetes group than in the control group only at 8 weeks (P
