Introduction Low-back pain (LBP) has been correlated to the presence of intervertebral disc
(IVD) degeneration on T2-weighted (T2w) MRI. It remains challenging, however, to …

Background context Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability worldwide, with a
tremendous socioeconomic burden. It is mainly caused by intervertebral disc degeneration …

Background Multiparameter characterization using MR fingerprinting (MRF) can quantify
multiple relaxation parameters of intervertebral disc (IVD) simultaneously. These parameters …

Background Early and accurate assessment of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration
(IVDD) is very important to therapeutic strategy. This study aims to correlate and compare …

Magnetic resonance (MR) parameter mapping is useful for many clinical applications.
However, its practical utility is limited by the long scan time. To address this problem, this …

Objective The study aimed to investigate the diurnal variation in cervical disc hydration and
its relationship with cervical degeneration. Materials and Methods C3–C7 discs of 86 …

Purpose To verify the feasibility of synthetic MRI in quantitative evaluation of lumbar
intervertebral disk (IVD) degeneration, as compared to the conventional CarrPurcell …

Background To compare potential of ultrashort time-to-echo (UTE) T2* mapping and T2*
values from T2*-weighted imaging for assessing lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration …

Purpose Retrospective radiological examination (X-ray and MRI) aims to investigate the
diagnostic value of various methods of measurement with regard to the determination of the …
