Fig. 1. Summary of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values in abnormal vertebrae. ADC values in benign compression fractures (n = 20) are significantly higher than those in malignant compression fractures (n = 16, p < 0.01). Note considerable overlap between benign and malignant compression fracture ranges. Differences in ADC values between malignant compression fractures and metastases without compression fractures (n = 47) are not statistically significant. NS = not significant.
