(A) L1 upper concave endplate fracture (long arrow) and Grade 2 SQ-VD. L2 upper endplate is normal (dotted square) which may be misdiagnosed as endplate fracture. This is due to the projection of endplate ring; note the parallel multilayered endplate lines and that there is no depression; (B) Radiograph from another subject demonstrates a similar appearance of upper endplate (without fracture).
SQ-VD = semiquantitative vertebral deformity.
