Question

on radiographs, you note an ivory vertebra. which additional imaging finding would help to determine a most likely diagnosis of hodgkin lymphoma? please select your answer... a multiple vertebral bodies involved b picture frame appearance c anterior body scalloping d osseous expansion

Explanation:

An ivory vertebra (sclerotic vertebra) can be seen in multiple conditions, but for Hodgkin lymphoma, a key associated finding is involvement of multiple vertebral bodies, as the disease often spreads to multiple osseous sites. Picture frame appearance is linked to Paget's disease, anterior body scalloping is seen in conditions like spinal cord tumors with dural pressure, and osseous expansion is typical of benign or malignant bone tumors like osteosarcoma or giant cell tumor, not Hodgkin lymphoma's vertebral involvement.

Answer:

A. multiple vertebral bodies involved
