Intervertebral disc swelling demonstrated by 3D and water content magnetic resonance analyses after a 3-day dry immersion simulating microgravity

Background Vertebral deconditioning is commonly experienced after space flight andsimulation studies. Disc herniation (DH) is quadrupled after space flight.Purpose The main hypothesis formulated by the authors is that microgravity results inintervertebral disc swelling.Study Design The aim of the st...
