Normal : As best I can understand your question, the MRI results are essentially normal. A hemangioma seen in a MRI is usually considered an incidental finding that rarely has clinical significance.

Mostly benign: Vertebral hemangiomas are benign vascular malformations that displace the adjacent bone. They are usually asymptomatic and typically no treatment is necessary. Acute symptoms may occur from secondary compression fracture, sudden mass effect, and internal hemorrhage. With these secondary effects, there are invasive and noninvasive therapeutic options.
