T1ρ MRI and Discography Opening Pressure are Quantitative Biomarkers of Disc Degeneration In Vivo

INTRODUCTION –A quantitative assessment of disc health is essential for selection of treatment options and to the future of biomedical research in the development of new spine technologies. The Pfirrmann grade determined from T2 MRI is currently the gold standard to determine disc degeneration [1]. This method has been valuable for research, yet is extremely limited as it is not a continuous qu...

Sodium MRI of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Objective: To establish sodium MRI as a non-invasive method for measuring intervertebral disc proteoglycan content Introduction: Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a common and sometimes debilitating condition, incurring tremendous financial cost on society. The initial stage of IVD degeneration involves the breakdown of proteoglycans (PG) in the nucleus pulposus (NP) region of the disc[...

High Signal Intervertebral Disc in T1W MRI

Dear editor: We present two cases of high signal intervetebral disc in T1-weighted MRI with the differential diagnoses. The first case was a 60-year-old obese man who presented with back pain. The patient underwent an MR examination with a 0.3T permanent scanner (Hitachi, IRIS-II Japan). Spin–echo T1W, T2W images in orthogonal planes and STIR sequences were also obtained (Fig. 1). Hypersignal i...

T1ρ-Weighted MRI Senses Partial Pressure of Oxygen

INTRODUCTION Partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) is an important physiologic parameter, which has obvious implications in determining the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) and the efficacy of radiotherapy, amongst several other functionally and clinically relevant examples. Particularly for determination of CMRO2 via the hyperoxia approach suggested recently (1), a global brain arterial PO...
