Anomalous signal intensity increase on out-of-phase chemical shift imaging: a manifestation of marrow mineralisation?

ConclusionWhen assessing focal marrow lesions with CSI, anomalous SI increase may be seen on the OOP sequence in approximately one-third of cases. In over 75% of such cases, CT or radiographs demonstrate either diffuse marrow sclerosis or matrix mineralisation.
