Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the technical characteristics and usefulness of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging for discrimination between benign and malignant vertebral fractures, for detection and differentiation of multiple myeloma or metastases, and for response monitoring in malignant vertebral lesions after anticancer drug therapy or radiation therapy.

척추영상에 사용되는 확산강조영상의 기술적 측면, 양성과 악성 척추체 압박골절의 구분, 다발성골수종이나 전이암의 발견과 감별진단, 그리고 항암화학요법이나 방사선치료 후 반응 평가에 대해 기술하고자 한다.
