ABSTRACT

Objective　To study the MRI diagnosis of spinal metastasis.Methods　The MRI appearances of 128 cases of spinal metastasis proved clinically were retrospectively analyzed.Results　(1)The MRI signal was T1WI low in 87.5% and 12.5% was mixed or equal.(2)Multi-focus in 80.5%.The "jump up sign"occurred in 52.3%,the accessory parts destructed in 64.1%,in which root of vertebral destructed with expanded in 57%.(3)The masses of paravertebral occurred in 31.3%.The disc of vertebral was not destructed.(4)The patients associated with vertebral compresion fracture such as "wedge","disc"or"wedge of rear"in 52.3%.Conclusion　The MRI findings of spinal metastasis is of high sensitivity and spectivity.The method is advanced than X-ray and CT.
