Figure 8 Sagittal T1W (A), T2W (B) and STIR (C) images of 65-year-old female showing L1 vertebral body atypical hemangioma with diffuse low signal intensity on T1W image and high-signal intensity on T2W and STIR images presented on a background of lumbar spondylotic changes. Note also, DV11 old porotic wedging. Companion imaging showed prominent trabecular pattern on focused radiography (D) and CT (E) of the LV1 with characteristic polka-dot sign.
