Fig. 1

50–59-year-old patient with type 2 sclerotic Modic change (indicated by arrow)—high T1- and T2-weight magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signals—showing the anatomical areas. a, b Sagittal T1-weighted (a) and T2-weighted (b) MRI scans show high signal at the L5-S1 endplates. Sagittal reconstructed (c) computed tomography (CT) scans show sclerosis at the L5-S1 endplates. Sagittal reconstructed (c, d) CT scans at the 12-month follow-up evaluationshow that there was no evidence of trabecular bone formation extending from the upper or lower endplate of L5-S1 (no fusion)
