Differentiation of bone metastases from benign red marrow depositions: utilizing qualitative and quantitative analysis of conventional T1-weighted imaging and fat-suppressed T2-weighted imaging

CONCLUSIONS: The quantitative analysis of T2 FS facilitates distinguishing between BMs and BRMs, regardless of whether the reference was NM or NBM.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Quantitative parameters derived from T2 FS facilitate differentiation of BMs BRMs without additional scans. The role of NBM as an internal standard for T2 FS to differentiate between BMs and BRMs is similar to that of NM.PMID:38308029 | DOI:10.1093/bjr/tqad033
