Fractures are very common and sometimes they can be tricky
0:05
because will be difficult to
0:09
establish sometimes is the fracture is pathological
0:13
or is due to a trauma or osteoporosis.
0:17
For that, the clinical information
0:20
and clinical context will be very important.
0:24
Access to prior imaging will also be crucial if you have it.
0:30
Ultimately, sometimes it will be hard to determine
0:32
and just, uh, time will maybe, um,
0:35
help us in this image.

I am showing a spine, a thoracic spine,
0:41
and as you can see I have leveled a few
0:44
of the vertebral bodies.
0:46
And what I wanted to show you in this case is that
0:49
there are several fractures in these patients', uh, spine
0:53
and they all have different degrees of tracer uptake.
0:57
Uh, it is sometimes possible to age
1:03
the fracture
1:04
because acute fractures will show higher uptake like the T
1:09
five as they have from the fracture itself.
1:12
You have inflammation related to the fracture bone healing,
1:17
and so that will be shown as higher tracer uptake.
1:22
Whereas if we compare to the fracture at T seven, we see
1:26
that it's compressed,
1:27
but the level of uptake is very similar
1:30
to the other non compressed fractures.
1:33
So these would be a chronic fracture.
1:36
T eight kind of falls in between the degree of uptake.
1:40
And I would probably say that this is at least a subacute
1:44
fracture.
