DCE-MRI was performed to differentiate 4 spinal lesions
(9 myeloma, 85 metastatic cancer, 7 lymphoma, 24 benign
tuberculosis). Two-compartmental pharmacokinetic model
was used to obtain Ktrans and kep, by using the fast and
medium blood curves, with and without considering the
vascular term vp. The results showed that despite a
rapid wash-in seen in some cases, the obtained vascular
component was still low. The kep analyzed by using the
medium blood curve was the best parameter to
differentiate these 4 lesion groups. When the term vp
was considered, it had a diagnostic value, but the kep
might become less powerful.
