Quantitative comparison of T1ρ with T2 in intervertebral disc in vivo at 3T
T2 values of the NP and AF. Figure 1. (a) T2W image (b) corresponding T2 map overlaid on T2W image (c) corresponding T1ρ map overlaid on T2W image with grade 0 at L2/L3 to L4/L5 and grade 1 at L5/S1. Figure 3. Mean T1ρ and T2 values of NP and AF for grade 0 and grade > 0. Significant differences between groups are indicated by * p < 0.005. Quantitative comparison of T1ρ with T2 in intervertebra...
متن کاملT1ρ 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...
متن کاملSodium 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[...
متن کاملHigh 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...
متن کاملT1ρ-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...
