چکیده

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a global view of the bone marrow and facilitates the understanding of disease progression and the remission of hematologic malignancies. Marrow MRI is an important tool for accurate diagnosis, monitoring of disease extent, and evaluation of treatment response. MRI functions as an adjunct to bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. Furthermore, abnormal imaging on marrow MR may predict poor prognosis in patients with primary marrow disorders.

MRI evaluation of rabbit bone marrow after acute irradiation

Background: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a safe modality and useful in characterizing normal and abnormal bone marrow (BM). MRI also presents a more global view of BM than biopsy therefore, it may provide a better understanding of hematologic disorders. The purpose of this study was to monitor radiation-induced alterations of BM in acute phase of irradiation (1-10 day after total body ir...
