Detection of Osseous Spinal Metastasis with T1-Weighted Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI and <sup>18</sup> F-FDG PET/CT: Assessing Agreement in Biopsy Proven Cases
<i>V<sub>p</sub></i> and SUV<sub>max</sub> exhibit agreement in detecting osseous spinal metastases. However, when common thresholds for these metrics are applied, <i>V<sub>p</sub></i> exceeds SUV<sub>max</sub> in identifying viable tumor. DCE-MRI plays a crucial role in detecting spinal metastases and offers complementary qualitative and quantitative information that can augment diagnosis and characterization of spinal metastases in addition to <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT.
