Bone marrow MR perfusion imaging and potential for tumor evaluation

James F Griffith et al. Skeletal Radiol. 2023 Mar.

Abstract

The physiology of bone perfusion is reviewed outlining how it can be measured with dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI as well as intravoxel incoherent imaging. Evaluation of bone perfusion provides a potential means of assessing tumor activity and treatment response beyond that possible with standard MR imaging.

Keywords: Bone; Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI; Intravoxel-incoherent imaging; MRI; Perfusion; Physiology; Tumor.
