Is it appropriate to measure age-related lumbar disc degeneration on the mid-sagittal MR image? A quantitative image study

摘要

PurposeEven though phenotypes of disc degeneration vary on different sagittal magnetic resonance images (MRI), measurements typically are acquired on the mid-sagittal MRI. This study investigated the appropriateness of using the mid-sagittal MRI to measure various phenotypes of age-related disc degeneration.
