BACKGROUND: According to the T1ρ value of nucleus pulposus, our previous study has found that intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) can be divided into three phases based on T1ρ-MR, which is helpful for the selection of biomaterial treatment timing....
BACKGROUND: Diffusion distance and diffusivity are known to affect nutrient transport rates, but the probabilistic analysis of these two factors remains vacant. There is a lack of effective tools to evaluate disc nutrient levels.
