Figure 1 Fat-suppressed, gadolinium-enhanced, T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging scan in the sagittal plane showing destruction of the intervertebral disc (arrowhead) and of the 2 adjacent vertebral plates of L2-L3 (arrows) by an inflammatory process enhancing after gadolinium. As a result, partial collapse of the L3 vertebral body can be seen. The American Journal of Medicine 2017 130, e309-e310DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2017.01.034) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
