Quantitative Predictive Imaging Biomarkers of Lumbar Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Study Design Observational comparative study. Purpose To compare fractional anisotropy (FA) maps with T2 values of the nucleus pulposus (NP) and annulus fibrosus (AF) of intervertebral discs in healthy volunteers and patients to develop a predictive disc health scale. Overview of Literature T2-weigh...
