Figure 4

A 58-year-old female patient with confirmed pathological diagnosis of metastatic cancer originating from the breast. A. MR T2WI and B. MR T1WI show steolytic destruction in the C5 vertebral body. A soft tissue mass is clearly visible. C. Contrast-enhanced MR T1WI shows a heterogeneously enhanced lesion. D. The DCE kinetics show rapid wash-in that reaches a plateau after 40 seconds. The peak SE% = 128%, steepest wash-in SE%= 84% and wash-out SE% = 6%. From pharmacokinetic analysis, the fitted Ktrans = 0.062/min and kep = 0.44/min.
