  • Title: MR imaging of neoplasms of the lumbar spine.
    Author: Sevick RJ, Wallace CJ.
    Journal: Magn Reson Imaging Clin N Am; 1999 Aug; 7(3):539-53, ix. PubMed ID: 10494534.
    Abstract:
    MR imaging has evolved as the primary modality for imaging spinal neoplasms; however, neoplasms must be distinguished from unusual appearances of degenerative lesions. This article reviews MR imaging findings of a variety of neoplastic lesions of the lumbar spine. For example, extradural, metastatic tumors are the most common; nerve sheath tumors are the most common intradural extramedullary tumors; and ependymoma accounts for most of the tumors arising from the filum terminale.
