Abstract
The thoracic spines of a group of 48 oncology patients were examined with high field (1.5 T) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Sagittal T1-weighted sections were obtained in all patients. Even using this single sequence an unexpectedly high prevalence of thoracic disk herniation (14.5%) was demonstrated. Thoracic disk herniation shown by MR may not be related to the patients' symptoms.Keywords
