The Rugger Jersey Spine Sign

Sclerotic bands along the superior and inferior
thoracic and lumbar vertebral body endplates giving a striped appearance to the vertebral bodies, with a relative band of lucency at the center of each vertebral body. The alternating parallel sclerotic and lucent bands are analogous to the stripes on an English rugby sweater, from which arises the name “rugger jersey spine”.

The rugger jersey spine sign is said to be almost diagnostic of the osteosclerosis associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism
of chronic renal failure.
