Quantitative Assessment of Intervertebral Disc Composition by MRI: Sensitivity to Diurnal Variation

Quantitative Assessment of Intervertebral Disc Composition by MRI: Sensitivity to Diurnal Variation

Whether diurnal variation exists in quantitative MRI indices such as the T1rho relaxation time (T1ρ) of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is yet to be explored. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the diurnal variation in T1ρ, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and electrical conductivity (σ) of...
