Bone marrow infiltrative disease (leukemia)
Updates to Case Attributes
**LeukemiaLeukemia includes a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that infiltrate bone marrow with mature or immature cells of the white blood cell lineage. In leukemia, bone marrow infiltration usually occurs diffusely, with a diffuse decrease in the marrow signal intensity onT1-weighted image images. MRI is highly sensitive for detecting bone marrow infiltration, but its specificity is poor, leaving the diagnosis of leukemia to peripheral blood smears and bone marrow biopsy.
** T1- weighted imaging is the most sensitive pulse sequence to assess abnormal bone marrow signal intensity.
