Assessment of mechanical properties of isolated bovine intervertebral discs from multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging

Assessment of mechanical properties of isolated bovine intervertebral discs from multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The treatment planning of spine pathologies requires information on the rigidity and permeability of the intervertebral discs (IVDs). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers great potential as a sensitive and non-invasive technique f...
