Abstract

Purpose: Diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DW-MRI) is generally applied to diagnose intra-axial brain pathologies such as parenchyma metastasis, abscesses, and infarcts in patients with systemic cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the DW-MRI findings in cranial bone marrow metastases to facilitate diagnosis.
