Patient‐specific apparent diffusion maps used to model nutrient availability in degenerated intervertebral discs
Abstract Introduction In this study, magnetic resonance imaging data was used to (1) model IVD‐specific gradients of glucose, oxygen, lactate, and pH; and (2) investigate possible effects of covariate factors (i.e., disc geometry, and mean apparent diffusion coefficient values) on the IVD’s microenv...
