[Evaluation of diagnostic value of DW sequence in differentiating infectious spondylitis from degenerative endplate type1]

ABSTRACT

Background and Objectives: DWI is one of the useable sequences in MRI which currently being used in the assessment of vertebral column especially for malignant or benign causes. Considering that few studies have been performed regarding the use of DW sequences in spondylitis differentiating of disease with degenerative changes of vertebral yet; hence we intended to found the diagnostic value of DW sequence in spondylitis differentiating of infectious from degenerative changes of end plate type 1 with designing this study
