Evaluation of Tumor Viability for Primary and Bone Metastases in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Using Whole-Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Figure 5

Imaging findings of MRI and CT in the second lumbar vertebra where CT-guided needle biopsy was performed. (a) CT revealed an osteoclastic lesion in the second vertebral body (885.4 HU). (b) and (c) of DWI displayed no high signal intensity in the second lumbar vertebra. (d) The ADC map exhibited low signal intensity in the second lumbar vertebra (the ADC value was 0.498 × 10−3 mm2/s). MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; CT, computed tomography; HU, Hounsfield unit; DWI, diffusion-weighted imaging; ADC, apparent diffusion coefficient.
