Overview
MRI may be performed to detect spinal cord bone infiltration among chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients. MRI can also be used to assess for lymphadenopathy with a greater level of detail than physical examination alone.
MRI
- MRI may be performed to detect spinal cord bone infiltration among chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients.[1]
- On spinal MRI, chronic lymphocytic leukemia is characterized by expansion of the spinal cord and lymph node enlargement.
- Spinal MRI image characteristics observed among chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients include:
- T1 weighted image demonstrates:
- T1 weighted image with gadolinium contrast demonstrates:
- Heterogeneous enhancement
- T1 weighted image demonstrates:
- Heterogeneous and diffuse signal
