Multiple bone lesions with T1 hyperintensity involve the cervical and thoracic spine, with a pathologic fracture of T6 (T1 turbo spin-echo; TR, 624 ms; TE, 14 ms; field of view, 360 mm; matrix, 448 x 224; number of excitations, 1; section thickness, 4 mm; intersection gap, 0.4 mm; scan time, 1 minute 55 seconds; echo-train length, 5; phase-encoding direction, superior to inferior). B, Parasagittal T1 MR imaging. Multiple lesions with T1 hyperintensity involve the thoracic and lumbar spine, and a T1 hyperintense metastatic nodule is evident in the paraspinal muscles (T1 turbo spin-echo; TR, 624 ms; TE, 14 ms; field of view, 360 mm; matrix, 448 x 224; number of excitations, 1; section thickness, 4 mm; intersection gap, 0.4 mm; scan time, 1 minute 55 seconds; echo-train length, 5; phase-encoding direction, superior to inferior).
