CT values of MC regions, adjacent non-MC regions, and the L1 vertebra.
| CT value (HU) | MCs | Non-MCs | L1 vertebra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bone marrow area | 261.80±122.93 | 157.28±56.21∗ | 148.61±42.51∗ |
| Endplate | 475.65±126.45 | 402.96±109.89∗ | 391.33±72.43∗ |
∗: P<0.0001 (compared with MCs). A vertebra was divided into the MC region and the non‐MC region. CT values of the bone marrow area and endplate at each region, including the L1 vertebra, were calculated separately.
