This study evaluated the use of the Spectral presaturation with inversion recovery (SPIR) technique with T2-weighting in 43 pathologically proven cases of suspected musculoskeletal neoplasm. Both primary and secondary malignant neoplasms as well as benign neoplasms were studied. The MR features exhibited by this technique are discussed. The images were evaluated by two experienced MRI specialists and graded as to utility into one of four categories as compared to conventional T1- and T2-weighted sequences. In the majority of cases this technique was found to be helpful or extremely helpful. The most useful features of this technique were the elimination of chemical shift artifact, the improved ability to evaluate superficial lesions or the extension of lesions into subcutaneous fat, and substantially improved visualization of both bone marrow and bone cortex interfaces. T2-weighted, fat suppressed imaging proved to be a useful new tool for evaluating musculoskeletal neoplasms.
