Intradiscal quantitative chemical exchange saturation transfer MRI signal correlates with discogenic pain in human patients

Abstract Low back pain (LBP) is often a result of a degenerative process in the intervertebral disc. The precise origin of discogenic pain is diagnosed by the invasive procedure of provocative discography (PD). Previously, we developed quantitative chemical exchange saturation transfer (qCEST) magne...
