Prevalence and origin of prominent nutrient channels of the ilium bone on MR-imaging
Prominent nutrient vessels in the ilium are seen in almost all individuals, the majority exhibiting a specific CVC-pattern. These vessels may be surrounded by perivascular fatty areas; adjacent bone-marrow edema is rare. Recognizing the CVCs and the associated imaging findings should facilitate distinguishing normal anatomical structures from pathology.
