Diagnostic assessment reports accuracy of Dixon T2-weighted MRI in spinal metastases with vertebral compression fractures, highlighting potential to simplify imaging workflows.
Conventional imaging protocols, including sagittal T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) and water-only T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), are time consuming when screening for spinal metastases with vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). In this study, we aimed to assess the accuracy of using only the Dixon T2-weighted sequence in the diagnosis of spinal metastases with VCFs to determine its suitability as a simplified protocol for this task.
