Brucellosis, also known as Mediterranean fever, undulant fever, or Malta fever is a zoonotic disease caused by Brucella infection.With the rapid development of animal husbandry and aquaculture and increasing consumption of dairy products in urban residents, the incidence of this disease in Inner Mongolia and even in the mainland area of China is significantly increased. The disease can damage multiple systems including nervous system, circulatory system, reproductive system and bone joints, etc. The sooner the diagnosis of brucellar spondylitis is diagnosed and treated, the better will be the prognosis of the patients which can prevent the development of severe complications and diminish the need for surgical therapy. Thus the early diagnosis of brucellar spondylitis was of great significance.We quantitatively analyzed the brucellar spondylitis with DCE-MRI to explore the application of DCE-MRI in the early diagnosis of brucellar spondylitis.
