With axial loading during MRI diurnal T2-value changes in lumbar discs are neglectable: a cross sectional study

Abstract Background Axial loading during MRI (alMRI) combined with T2 mapping recently was shown as a promising method to reveal biomechanical intervertebral disc (IVD) characteristics. This feasibility study aims to investigate whether there is a diurnal variation in the IVD T2-value when using alM...
