Summary
Localized radiotherapy increases T2 relaxation times in vertebral bone marrow, detectable via MRI. Radiologists must recognize these changes for accurate spinal disorder assessment in patients post-treatment.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Medical Imaging
- Oncology
Background:
- Localized radiotherapy can affect vertebral bone marrow.
- Assessing these effects is crucial for patient management.
- Quantitative MRI offers a method to evaluate tissue changes.
