    The X-ray of this patient shows there is a round, high-density background in the left part of the T8 vertebra.

    The CT scan suggests the outline of the T8 left transvertebral is irregular. In some local area lateral to the internal thoracic cave, the basement becomes wider and its density is uneven, so we can see something of the high bone density. The T8-T9 left intervertebral foramen becomes narrow.

    The 3D CT reconstruction of this patient shows the osteochondroma of T8 vertebra comes from the transverse process.

    Figure 4

    This patient's MRI results suggest the left T8 vertebral transverse patterns widened. The local area of the disease is irregularly prone to the thorax, which was within its uneven T1, T2 mixed abnormal signal to the dorsal protruding lesions, which showed high signal intensity on T1 or T2. T8-9 left intervertebral foramen was narrow and compressed.
