Axial loading during MRI induces significant T2 value changes in vertebral endplates—a feasibility study on patients with low back pain
Abstract Background The function of the endplate (EP) is the most important factor influencing nutritional supply to the avascular intervertebral disc (IVD). It is desired to have a non-invasive method to assess functional EP characteristics in vivo. Assessment of functional EP characteristics is im...
