Thresholding approaches for estimating paraspinal muscle fat infiltration using T1‐ and T2‐weighted MRI: Comparative analysis using water–fat MRI

Thresholding approaches for estimating paraspinal muscle fat infiltration using T1‐ and T2‐weighted MRI: Comparative analysis using water–fat MRI

Abstract Background Paraspinal muscle fat infiltration is associated with spinal degeneration and low back pain, however, quantifying muscle fat using clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques continues to be a challenge. Advanced MRI techniques, including chemical‐shift encoding (CSE) ba...
