Guest guest Posted February 15, 2007 Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 I cross posted this message on the Asian CML support group Hi all I needed to have a followup m.r.i.on my hip and leg because the first m.r.i. showed a shadow on the upper leg. The report is as follows Abnormality is seen in the upper aspect of the left femoral diaphysis. There is an ovoid area of intermediate T1 and bright T2 signal is seen within the upper femoral diaphysis. This measures 3cm in length and exhibits patchy enhancement post administration of contrast. Distal to this there is patchy abnormal signal and enhancement involving the upper third of the femoral diaphysis. There is no cortical breech or adjacent soft tissue mass. The remainder of the left femoral diaphysis appears normal. No other lesions are identified. It is difficult to ascertain whether the lesion has changed since the prior examination as it was only partially imaged previously. IMPRESSION Non-specific area of marrow signal abnormality and enhancement in the upper left femoral diaphysis. This may represent an evolving bone infarct but this is not definitely the case. Follow up imaging could be performed in 2 - 3 months time to ensure that this is not a progressive abnormality. Just wondered if anyone else has had problems with bones. My oncologist thinks it probably stems from bone marrow transplant and is referring me to a leg specialist. I'm interested in any natural therapies that might improve bone strength. I had a transplant in 1993, and after relapsing 2 years ago am now taking 600mg glivec. My left hip has been giving me pain for some time, which is why I had the m.r.i.
