Abstract
To investigate the differences between imaging features of spinal tuberculosis (TB) and metastatic cancer measured by dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI). The presentation of TB on convention MRI may not show the typical TB signs, and they may be mis-diagnosed as malignant diseases. DCE-MRI may provide additional information to help making differential diagnosis.Keywords
