Identifying neuroblastoma (NBL) metastases is crucial to treatment and prognosis. Metaiodobenzylguanidine and Tc99M bone scans are standard for identifying bony metastases but can underestimate disease. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) of the spine has shown promise in evaluating bony metastases but has been limited by artifacts. Readout-segmented echo planar imaging is a technique for DWI that minimizes artifacts allowing for improved identification of spinal disease. This report illustrates the utility of DWI of the spine using readout-segmented echo planar imaging in the detection of bony NBL metastases in a child, lending support that DWI should be included in magnetic resonance imaging scans for NBL.
