Spatial geometric and magnetic resonance signal intensity changes with advancing stages of nucleus pulposus degeneration

Spatial geometric and magnetic resonance signal intensity changes with advancing stages of nucleus pulposus degeneration

Abstract Background With advancing stages of degeneration, denaturation and degradation of proteoglycans in the nucleus pulposus (NP) lead to tissue dehydration and signal intensity loss on T2-weighted MR images. Pfirrmann grading is widely used for grading degeneration of intervertebral discs (IVDs...
