Our data demonstrate that plasma volume and permeability constant perfusion parameters and qualitative inspection of contrast-enhancement curves can be used to differentiate atypical hemangiomas from vertebral metastatic lesions. This work highlights the benefits of adding perfusion maps to conventional sequences to improve diagnostic accuracy.
