Fw. Flickinger et Sm. Sanal, BONE-MARROW MRI - TECHNIQUES AND ACCURACY FOR DETECTING BREAST-CANCERMETASTASES, Magnetic resonance imaging, 12(6), 1994, pp. 829-835
We investigated the utility of bone marrow MRI for diagnosing marrow m
etastases from breast cancer compared with radionuclide bone scan, ili
ac crest marrow biopsy with histology and antibody immunostaining, and
clinical follow-up. We report the results of 43 MRI studies in 32 pat
ients and discuss the evolution and comparison of optimal MRI techniqu
es. MRI appears to be the most accurate diagnostic method, and short T
I Inversion Recovery (STIR) the most reliable pulse sequence for this
group of patients with breast cancer.
