Figures
- Fig 1.
Additional height loss after VP.
A, T1-weighted MRI before L1 VP shows vertebral compression and marrow edema.
B, VP shows cement extending between the endplates of L1.
C, Follow-up T1-weighted MRI shows further vertebral compression primarily involving the anterior and middle aspects of the L1 body.
- Fig 2.
Severity of marrow edema, before and after VP (n = 51).One-third of vertebrae had moderate or severe edema at follow-up.
- Fig 3.
Persistent marrow edema after VP.
A, Preprocedure T1-weighted MRI shows partial compression of T8 with severe edema.
B, Lateral radiography at time of VP shows cement filling an intravertebral cleft and adjacent marrow.
C, T1-weighted MRI 1 year after VP shows persistent severe edema as well as a new compression fracture of T9.
- Fig 4.
Severity of marrow edema according to interval between VP and follow-up MRI (n = 81). At 6 months or more after VP, 11 of 22 vertebrae had some degree of marrow edema.
