T2-weighted (left) images of a hyperintense focal lesion (white arrow) a in a thoracic vertebra of a newly diagnosed myeloma patient with the corresponding b1000 image (right), showing the focal lesion together with a slightly diffusely increased signal intensity in the all vertebral bodies. b After systemic treatment and local irradiation on the focal lesion the signal intensity of the focal lesion increases on the T2-weighted image, indicating response and tumour necrosis, with residual hyperintensity on the b1000 image (right), due to the large water amount after necrosis: T2-shine-through effect
