From: Role of magnetic resonance imaging in acute spinal trauma: a pictorial review
Sagittal T1 weighted image (a) and sagittal short tau inversion recovery (STIR) image (b) of a patient with an age-indeterminate fracture on CT showed bone marrow edema, suggestive of an acute vertebral body injury. Sagittal T1 weighted image (c) and sagittal STIR image (d) of a different patient with an age-indeterminate vertebral body fracture on CT showed no evidence of bone marrow edema, suggestive of a chronic injury
