Comparative StudyMRI of bone tumors: Fast STIR imaging as a substitute for T1-weighted contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed spin-echo imaging.
To compare the usefulness of short inversion recovery (STIR) and T1-weighted, contrast-enhanced, fat-suppressed (T1W-CEFS) sequences for the evaluation of bone tumors. ⋯ The STIR sequence should be used instead of T1W-CEFS imaging for the evaluation of bone tumors.
