This study characterized bone marrow perfusion
properties in a quantitative way by adopting
surrounding muscle as the reference. A
muscle-based pharmacokinetic model was
established by adapting a reference region-based
model in the bone marrow. Contrast agent
extravasation rate constants for bone marrow and
the extravascular-extracellular volume fractions
for muscle were observed to diminish with the
decreased bone mineral density (BMD), while
muscle perfusion indices had no significant
change among groups with different BMD. The
results indicated that the impaired perfusion
function is only a function of the bone marrow
and not of the adjacent musculature.
