Sagittal TSE T2-weighted (a) and sagittal STIR (b) of the thoracolumbar spine in a 56-year-old man referred for PV for severe back pain following a fall. VCFs are noted at T8 (white dashed arrow) and T12 (continuous white arrow). There is prominent STIR hyperintensity at T12 without significant marrow edema at T8. The patient was symptomatic over T12 on palpation. This level was cemented with complete resolution of symptoms.
