• The detection of acute vertebral fractures was feasible using water-fat-separated images and CT-like images reconstructed from one sUTE sequence. • Assessment of the vertebral fractures using SW-like images with CT-like contrast was found to be comparable to conventional CT. • sUTE imaging of the spine can help reduce examination times and radiation exposure.
