MRI and the Detection of Bone Marrow Tumor

Mervyn D. Cohen

Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, IN 46202



 
WEB—This is a Web exclusive article.

I read with great interest the Centennial Article commentary by Lynn Steinbach [1] in the June issue of AJR, "MRI in the Detection of Malignant Infiltration of Bone Marrow." My intention in writing this letter is to correct several historical inaccuracies. Dr. Steinbach states in her commentary that "...one of the first articles to discuss the use of MR for the detection of metastatic disease in the bone marrow was published in 1986." She later states, "Around the time of submission of the article by Daffner [2], a few articles came out in the AJR concerning MRI of the bone marrow.... Other journals were not yet publishing articles on MRI of the bone marrow."

I very respectfully wish to draw attention to an article of mine [3] that appeared in Radiology in 1984, 2 years earlier than the articles referenced by Dr. Steinbach [1]. This article, "Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Bone Marrow Disease in Children" [3], clearly presented images of MRI-identified bone abnormality in children with osteogenic sarcoma, leukemia, and neuroblastoma and concluded that these abnormalities were caused by tumor within the bone marrow.
