• STIR sequences are the best for evaluating for bone oedema/bruising and occult fractures.
• T2 or proton density fat-saturated sequences to investigate cartilage thickness.
• T1 post-contrast to assess the synovium and synovial inflammation.
• T2 or proton density fat-saturated sequences to investigate cartilage thickness.
• T1 post-contrast to assess the synovium and synovial inflammation.
High signal on T2:
– Osteoporotic vertebral collapse– Radiotherapy change– Haemangiomas– Type 1 and 2 Modic changes– Lytic metastases
Isointense signal on T2:
– Lymphoma– Gaucher disease
Low signal on T2:
– Sclerotic metastases
– Myeloma after treatment
Low signal on T1:
– Lytic metastases– Sclerotic metastases
