Fig. 3From: The role of magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of bone tumours and tumour-like lesionsOsteosarcoma of the tibia: coronal T1WI (a) shows a large hypointense lesion in the proximal tibia, which breaks through the bony cortex and invades the adjacent soft tissue. Corresponding DWI (b = 700 s/mm2) (b) reveals restricted proton diffusion, consistent with malignancy. Tumoral necrosis (in the centre of the tumour) displays a less hyperintense signal.
