Synthetic MRI enables quantification of T1, T2 and proton density (PD) value. The purpose of our study was to assess the feasibility for distinguishing bone metastasis from normal marrow with synthetic MRI. Our study found that T1 value of metastasis was significantly higher than those of red and yellow marrow. The T2 value of metastasis was significantly lower than those of red and yellow marrow. We concluded that synthetic MRI could be used for differentiating bone metastasis from normal marrow.
