The "ivory vertebra" sign.
The ivory verterba sign is indicative of diffuse sclerosis of a vertebral body. Though classically associated with osteoblastic metastatic disease, the appearance has also been described with multiple other conditions. Observable on Compute tomography or standard radiography, this sign can serve as a important clue to a systemic disease process.
