Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the role of chemical shift magnetic resonance imaging (CSMRI) in differentiating benign and malignant vertebral lesions by comparing signal intensity characteristics, signal intensity value in opposed phase and inphase, and signal intensity ratio (SIR). The clinical data retrieved taken from patients� medical records and imaging data of 3T MRI examinations that used chemical shift imaging sequence. Opposed phase signal intensity value, inphase signal intensity value and SIR were significantly different between healthy vertebrates and abnormal vertebrates (both benign and malignant) with p<0.001, p=0.006 and p<0.001, respectively. Our data suggested the signal intensity values in opposed phase was significantly higher in patients with malignant lesion compared to benign vertebrate lesions, 195.77 (±62.03) and 128.17 (±80.66), respectively with p=0.043. Similarly, SIR in vertebrate with malignant lesions was significantly higher (1.13±0.097) compared to vertebrate lesions due to benign processes (0.95 ±0.085), with p<0.001. In conclusion, SCMRI potentially be used to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions in vertebrates and therefore could help for diagnosis and management of patients with vertebrate lesions. However, further studies are warrant to validate the findings of this study
