OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of clinical 3-T ultrashort TE MRI for the visualization of bone cement after percutaneous vertebroplasty. CONCLUSION: Ultrashort TE MRI is useful for evaluating the volume of cement injected at percutaneous vertebroplasty and the presence of cement that has leaked into paraspinal soft tissues and disk spaces.
