Abstract:
Magnetic resonance imaging findings in three patients with diskogenic vertebral sclerosis of the lumbar spine are presented. Increased signal intensity within the vertebral bodies was observed on T2-weighted images that corresponded to areas of bony sclerosis on plain radiography. Decreased signal intensity within the disk space on T2-weighted images serves to differentiate diskogenic sclerosis from infectious spondylitis.
