These authors present MR images in 7 patients who developed enhancing lesions after endovascular therapy for intracranial aneurysms, 3 of which were symptomatic. The number of lesions increased in 2, was stable in 1, decreased in 3, and disappeared in 1 patient. The authorsput forward that the imaging and clinical characteristics suggested a foreign body reaction. They found no correlation to a specific device, but a possible source may be the generic hydrophilic coating.

MR, FDG-PET, and CT images from 8 patients with proven spinal findings of hyperplastic hematopoietic bone marrow were compared with those of 24 patients with spinal metastases. If a lesion was isointense to hyperintense to normal-appearing marrow on MR imaging or had a maximum standard uptake value of >3.6, the lesion was metastatic. A normal appearance on CT or bone scintigraphy excluded metastasis.
