Abstract :
The efficacy of chemical shift based water-suppression MRI in the evaluation of bone marrow lesions has not been previously reported. T1-weighted images without and with water suppression were compared in five patients with 16 lesions. There was a significant improvement in the contrast-to-noise ratio (from 4.32 to 5.95, P< 0.01) and contrast ratio (from 1.71 to 5.69, P< 0.004) with water suppression. Water suppression may be useful clinically by increasing the conspicuity of bone marrow lesions.
