Fig. 4 — A 88-year-old man with MRI findings atypical of spondylodiscitis. Sagittal T1-weighted (a), fat-suppressed T2-weighted (b), gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted (d), and gadolinium-enhanced subtraction images (e) show pathological signals in both the L2 and L3 vertebrae (arrows and arrowheads), but no clear T2 hyperintensity or gadolinium enhancement of the L2–L3 disc. Axial T2-weighted (c) and gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted images (f) do not show any paravertebral phlegmon or abscess either. CT-guided biopsy was culture-negative
