Fat composition of the spinal tumors is positively correlated with classification and differential diagnosis of benign and malignant tumors.

Chemical shift encoding-based water-fat magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive method that provides quantitative information about the biochemical water-fat composition of bone marrow and skeletal muscle in vivo.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Pathological biopsy of a patient with diagnosed spinal tumor lesion, and preoperative examination Chemical shift encoding-based water-fat MRI was performed.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Recurrent neoplasms; Lesion diameter < 1 cm; Poor image quality.
