The Prognostic Significance of Pedicle Enhancement from Contrast-enhanced MRI for the Further Collapse in Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fractures
Conclusion.
Sign of pedicle enhancement is a potential risk factor for further compression progression. Contrast-enhanced MRI should be performed at the onset to better determine the future risk of collapse and to choose a better treatment modality for benign OVCF patients.
