This study investigated the differences in quantitative perfusion parameters of thoracolumbar vertebral bone marrow(VBM) in adults in relation to vertebral level and age using dynamic contrast enhancement MRI(DCE-MRI). We found that the quantitative parameters (Ktrans,Kep and Ve )were significantly associated with vertebral level and significantly influenced by age, which could lay a foundation for the further research of vertebral marrow perfusion.
