Back pain is a common complaint in patients with cancer. The standard diagnostic approach includes plain roentgenograms and radionuclide scans. We report two patients who presented with back pain and had unremarkable or equivocal roentgenograms and radionuclide scans. Their MRI scans demonstrated metastatic disease to the bone and spinal cord compression. The role is discussed of MRI scanning in patients with solid tumors and persistent back pain.
背痛是癌症患者的常见主诉。标准的诊断方法包括普通X线片和放射性核素扫描。我们报告了两名出现背痛的患者，他们的X线片和放射性核素扫描结果无异常或不明确。他们的磁共振成像（MRI）扫描显示有骨转移瘤和脊髓受压。本文讨论了MRI扫描在实体瘤和持续性背痛患者中的作用。
