Quantitative evaluation of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration by axial T2∗ mapping
To quantitatively evaluate the clinical value and demonstrate the potential benefits of biochemical axial T2* mapping-based grading of early stages of degenerative disc disease (DDD) using 3.0-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a clinical setting.Fifty patients with low back pain and 20 healthy volunteers (control) underwent standard MRI protocols including axial T2* mapping. All the interve...
متن کاملCorrelation between T2∗ (T2 star) relaxation time and cervical intervertebral disc degeneration
PURPOSE To demonstrate the potential benefits of T2 relaxation time of intervertebral discs (IVDs) regarding the detection and grading of degenerative disc disease using 3.0-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a clinical setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cervical sagittal T2-weighted, T2 relaxation MRI was performed at 3.0-T in 61 subjects, covering discs C2-3 to C6-7. All discs were morpholog...
متن کاملPreliminary study on diagnosis of lumbar disc degeneration with magnetic resonance T1p, T2 mapping and DWI quantitative detection technologies.
OBJECTIVE The value of diagnosing lumbar disc degeneration with T1p magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), T2 mapping and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) technologies. PATIENTS AND METHODS We selected 30 patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation (group A), 30 patients with lumbar disc degeneration (group B) and 30 healthy volunteers (group C) and carried out Pfirrmann grading of intervertebr...

متن کاملQuantitative OEF Determination by Separate T2 and T2* Mapping
measurement of oxygenation is of great interest, because tumor oxygenation is an indicator of aggressiveness and affinity to metastazation [1]. Moreover, the chance of success of a radiation therapy or chemo therapy depends on the oxygen partial pressure of the tumorous tissue [2]. That is the reason why hypoxia is a large obstacle to tumor therapy [3]. In this study, a model of static dephasin...
