DIFFUSION-WEIGHTED MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF INTERVERTEBRAL DISC DEGENERATION IN THE LUMBOSACRAL SPINE
Objective: to quantify the degree of degeneration of intervertebral discs (IVDs), by constructing functional diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) maps, and to determine a correlation between the measured diffusion coefficient (DC) values and IVD changes on T1- and T2-weighted images. Material and method...
