This patient presented with mid-lower back pain. A Spectral scan of the thoracic-lumber spine was performed for evaluation.
Spectral Analysis shows an acute compression fracture of T12.
Spectral bone marrow mapping shows increased density of the T12 marrow in the VNCa (virtual non calcium) image, which is associated with an acute fracture. An MRI scan was performed the T1WI and the Dixon's Water image confirmed the Spectral CT findings.
Deep Learning Spectral CT of the spine to characterise a mass. Spectral DLR delivers excellent energy separation, enabling assessment of iodine uptake, which can help facilitate assessment of benign vs. malignant masses. Additionally, the iodine map clearly outlines the regions of iodine uptake.
