In this report, we describe the appearance of the spinal vertebral body and epidural abscesses in a patient who underwent diffusion-weighted imaging of the spine and CT-guided aspiration of one of the abscesses. The abscesses were hyperintense relative to the surrounding tissues on diffusion-weighted images, and they appeared dark on apparent diffusion coefficient maps; these findings were consistent with those of published reports of the brain and liver.
在本报告中,我们描述了一名接受脊柱扩散加权成像及其中一个脓肿的CT引导下穿刺抽吸的患者的脊柱椎体和硬膜外脓肿表现。在扩散加权图像上,脓肿相对于周围组织呈高信号,而在表观扩散系数图上呈低信号;这些表现与已发表的关于脑和肝脏的报告结果一致。
