FIG 4. Line scan diffusion images (A–C) and fast spin-echo image (D) of an 85-year-old female patient with multiple hemangioma lesions at almost every level in the spine. The mean diffusivity measured in these lesions ranged from 1019 x 10-6 mm2/s to 1321 x 10-6 mm2/s. At the T12 level (arrows), vertebroplasty had been performed previously by injection of polymethylmethacrylate and, as expected, the diffusion coefficient was low (204 ± 123 x 10-6 mm2/s).
