title: [Magnetic resonance imaging in the bone sites of malignant non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Apropos of 16 cases].
abstract: The primordial role of MRI in the staging of primary or secondary bone tumors has been clearly established. The authors report a study of 16 patients with NHL with suspected bone involvement, investigated by conventional radiography, bone scan, CT, bone marrow biopsy and MRI. The authors believe that, in the future, MRI will have an important role in the staging and follow-up of treatment of bone lymphomas. Better than any other techniques, MRI provides a precise assessment of tumor extension. It also represents a valuable method for monitoring patients during treatment by visualising the course of the disease.
