Previous studies have reported that the disorder of intramedullary perfusion in the vertebral fracture (VF) delays the bone union process. However, few reports evaluating VF using intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) exist. The IVIM parameters between favorable and unfavorable VF prognosis were compared, and we investigated whether possible to evaluate for the VF prognosis. ADC, D, D*, and f in VF as IVIM parameters were measured, and the IVIM parameters between the favorable and unfavorable prognosis groups was compared. The IVIM parameters were significantly different between groups. Therefore, it is concluded that the IVIM analysis enables the prediction of VF prognosis.
