| Abstract | Although some reports with computed tomography and bone scintigraphy are available in the literature, the distinct epidemiologic description of skeletal metastatic pattern of various tumors is still lacking. This study uses a novel approach to identify skeletal metastases from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data to describe metastatic pattern in common malignancies. A retrospective analysis of 130 cancer patients (42 lung, 56 breast, 11 prostate cancers; 21 multiple myeloma) with vertebral metastases and without disseminated disease, and whom underwent a whole body 3Tesla MRI investigation (Discovery MR750w), was carried out. Multiple myeloma had the most commonly disseminated metastatic disease (95%) compared to lung (28%), breast (44%) and prostate (71%) cancers. Lung cancer was related to more frequent pedicle involvement compared to breast or prostate cancer (29, 9 and 0%, p < 0.05). Pathologic fracture was mainly associated with multiple myeloma (43%). The prevalence of lung cancer metastases was more frequent in the lumbal spine (81%), as well as particular in C7, D7, D8, D9 and L1, compared to breast cancers. Most differences among tumors were detected in the extravertebral osseous metastatic pattern (p < 0.05). The highest frequency of extravertebral skeletal metastases was present in multiple myeloma (28 to 76%). Brain metastasis was more frequent in lung cancer compared to breast cancers (35% vs. 17%, p < 0.05). Significant differences in the skeletal metastatic pattern among common malignancies were demonstrated with MRI. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
