Cartilaginous endplate (CEP) deficiency has been cited
as a cause of vertebral endplate (VEP) lesions. UTE MRI,
which enables direct evaluation of CEP morphology, was
used to evaluate lumbar spines with and without VEP
lesions. CEP overlying normal VEP were generally normal,
while CEP overlying VEP lesions were abnormal. Agreement
between observers was substantial. UTE MRI of the CEP
may be useful for better understanding of CEP pathology,
and etiology of VEP lesions.
