"T2: bright/high-intensity signal, usually greater than on T1, due to its high water content"
"STIR: variable signal intensity depending on the amount of fat in the lesion relative to the vascularity"
"T1 C+: significant enhancement is seen due to high vascularity"
"Bone scintigraphy (99mTc MDP) tends to show no increased activity for haemangiomas with rare exceptions 16."

"In some cases, specifically capillary types, lytic erosion into the epidural space can occur; however, this is rare 2. They are slow-growing, and most haemangiomas are asymptomatic."
"Most haemangiomas are asymptomatic. The collapse of the vertebral body or encroachment into the neural canal are some of the classic causes of pain. An increase in activity can cause the vertebral haemangioma to become painful, such as starting to exercise, housework and such like. This is most likely due to axial loading through the vertebral body."
"They are composed of vascular spaces, which causes a displacement of the bone. There are two main histopathological types 11:"
