  1. OCAD
    avneesh.chhabra
    OT-RADS III

    as its black on t1

    other way would be to do a CT and look for sclerosis, common in notochord rests

    Best!

    I think Giant notochordal rest should not enhance—-worth getting contrast.

    I would also consider a Chordoma in the differential. (Atul)

    I like both hemangioma and notochord rest but per Avneesh CT axial on
    those to look for the stipulated appearance or sclerosis with notochord
    rests would help. To me despite the signal changes it has nonaggressive
    characteristics (ie. No cortical destruction or appreciable soft tissue
    components. (Damon)

    I would favor incidental, benign hemangioma and confirm with a limited CT.
