Spatial geometric and magnetic resonance signal intensity changes with advancing stages of nucleus pulposus degeneration
BACKGROUND With advancing stages of degeneration, denaturation and degradation of proteoglycans in the nucleus pulposus (NP) lead to tissue dehydration and signal intensity loss on T2-weighted MR images. Pfirrmann grading is widely used for grading degeneration of intervertebral discs (IVDs). The criterion to differentiate IVDs of Pfirrmann Grade I from the other grades is NP homogeneity. Pfirr...
متن کاملThe relationship of hemoglobin concentration and signal intensity changes in oxygenation-sensitive cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
Background Oxygenation-sensitive cardiovascular magnetic resonance (OS-CMR) has become a feasible diagnostic imaging modality for monitoring changes of myocardial oxygenation. Yet, potential confounding factors of this technique are not well understood. Due to T2 effects caused by tissue water content, the hydration status may impact signal intensity. We aimed at quantifying the confounding eff...
متن کاملHydrated nucleus pulposus extrusion in dogs: correlation of magnetic resonance imaging and microsurgical findings
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) patterns of canine cervical hydrated nucleus pulposus extrusion (HNPE) have been described by a few reports, but the correlation between microsurgical and MRI features has never been investigated. The aim of this study was to compare the MRI features of HNPE with microsurgical findings and cytological outcomes and also to investigate the anatomical an...
متن کاملResearch and applications: Three-dimensional morphological and signal intensity features for detection of intervertebral disc degeneration from magnetic resonance images
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Advances in MRI hardware and sequences are continually increasing the amount and complexity of data such as those generated in high-resolution three-dimensional (3D) scanning of the spine. Efficient informatics tools offer considerable opportunities for research and clinically based analyses of magnetic resonance studies. In this work, we present and validate a suite o...
