What is Differentiation of Vertebral Osteomyelitis and Tuberculous Spondylitis by Magnetic Resonance Imaging about?

Twenty patients with vertebral osteomyelitis and 18 with tuberculous spondylitis were investigated by magnetic resonance imaging to identify the distinguishing features. The number of vertebral bodies involved was less in vertebral osteomyelitis than in tuberculous spondylitis, and the paravertebral abscesses were smaller. The magnetic resonance intensity of the involved vertebral bodies was more homogeneous in vertebral osteomyelitis than in tuberculous spondylitis. Rim enhancement with Gadolinium-DTPA was less frequent in vertebral osteomyelitis. The differentiation of the two conditions by MRI was helpful in establishing the correct diagnosis of the infection. ## R6sum6. Vingt cas d'ostdomydlite vertdbrale et dix huit cas de spondylite tuberculeuse ont dtd analysds par IRM afin d'identifier les caractbres distinctifs. Le hombre de corps vertdbraux atteints dtait moins ~levd dans l'ost~omydlite vert~brale que dans la spondylite tuberculeuse. Les abcks paravertdbraux sont plus petits dans l'ostdomydlite vertibrale que dans la ST. L'intensitd par risonance magn~tique des corps vertgbraux atteints dtait plus homogkne dans l' ostdomydlite vertdbrale que dans la tuberculose vertdbrale
