Chest CT scans (a-c) and spinal MRI (d-f T1-weighted, g-i fat-suppressed T2-weighted) obtained after initiation of antimycobacterial treatment (a, d and g at 1 month, b, e and h at 3 months, c, f and i at 2 years). Both the VO (bone destruction on CT and low signal on T1-weighted MRI (circled)) and the abscess (paravertebral lesion on CT and high signal on fat-suppressed T2-weighted MRI (arrow)) improved gradually over 2 years
