Overview
- MRI may be performed to detect spinal cord bone infiltration of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.[1]
MRI
- MRI may be performed to detect spinal cord bone infiltration of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.[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:
- Diffusely hypointense signal
- T1 weighted image with gadolinium contrast demonstrates:
- Heterogeneous enhancement in 90% of the cases
- T2 weighted image demonstrates:
- Heterogeneous and diffuse enhancement
