Vertebral body findings per imaging modality
| Imaging Modality | Vertebral Body Finding | No. of Patients |
|---|---|---|
| MRI (n = 16) | ||
| T1-weighted images (n = 16) | T1 hypointensity | 15 |
| T1 hypointensity → T1 hyperintensity | 1 | |
| T2-weighted images (n = 15) | T2 hyperintensity | 12 |
| Mixed T2 hypo- and hyperintensity | 3 | |
| Gadolinium-enhanced images (n = 9) | Enhancement corresponding to areas of T1 hypointensity/T2 hyperintensity | 9 |
| CT (n = 14) | Sclerosis corresponding to MR signal abnormalities | 14 |
| Technetium Tc99m methylene diphosphonate 3-phase bone scan (n = 10) | Increased radiotracer uptake | 10 |
| Whole-body FDG-PET/CT (n = 2) | No abnormal FDG uptake | 2 |
