Abstract:
Radiographs and MR images of spine specimens provide superb tomographic views of changes that involve the mineralized network and the medullary content of vertebral bodies. By illustrating changes in the balance between bone resorption and formation and between fat and nonfat marrow cells, these frozen images of the reality help us to understand normal variants and lesions that develop in osseous and articular diseases of the lumbar spine.
