Lumbar MRI of a 58-year-old post-menopausal woman with a history of low back pain. No history of any chronic illness, spinal trauma, family history of osteoporosis, history of taking any medications, or taking calcium and vit. D supplementation. MRI of lumbar spine T1W (L1–L4) revealed that the SNRL1–L4 = 53.93, and M-score = 0.045 within normal values, DEXA scan of the lumbar spine, and PA (L1–L4) revealed normal T-score results. The mean BMD of the lumbar spine is 1.27 g/cm2, equivalent to a T-score of 0.8
