Q.All are true regarding healing spondylodiscitis
except
a. persistent disc space narrowing
b. decreased signal intensity of the disc on T2-weighted
images
c. fusion of the adjacent vertebral bodies
d.resolution of the high signal intensity in the adjacent
endplates
e. high signal intensity from a previously infected
vertebra on T1W
ANS.---e
The finding of high signal intensity on T1-weighted images from a previously infected vertebra reflects
replacement of cellular marrow by fat, indicating healing
