Table 2. The relationships between early bone marrow edema pattern on T1WI and vertebral deformity types on follow-up MRI.

Data in parentheses are case numbers and percentage, p<0.001. Type 1 : diffuse low SI (>90% involvement), Type 2 : globular or patchy low SI (non-band like), Type 3 : band like low SI (parallel the adjacent end plate). SI : signal intensity, VB : vertebral body
