The aim of this study is to evaluate the value of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) for the differentiation between benign and malignant vertebral bone marrow lesions. The results of our study show that IVIM is potentially a promising and valuable non-invasive method in differentiating the spinal benign and malignant diseases.
