Evaluation of MR-derived CT-like images and simulated radiographs compared to conventional radiography in patients with benign and malignant bone tumors
European Radiology Dec 18, 2018
Gersing AS, et al. - In 32 subjects (mean age 33.9 ± 18.5 years) with a benign or malignant bone lesion, authors performed 3-T MR imaging including a 3D T1-weighted gradient echo sequence as the basis for the CT-like images and studied the type of periosteal reaction, matrix mineralization, and destruction pattern to evaluate the diagnostic value of MR-derived CT-like images and simulated radiographs as compared to conventional radiographs in cases with benign and malignant bone tumors. They observed a high sensitivity of both modalities for the final diagnosis of the lesion and evaluation of bone tumors was seen possible with MR-derived images and hence, providing an additional information on bone tumors CT-like images and simulated radiographs.
