Lumbar intervertebral disc diurnal deformations and T2 and T1rho relaxation times vary by spinal level and disc region

Purpose Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is routinely used to evaluate spine pathology; however, standard imaging findings weakly correlate to low back pain. Abnormal disc mechanical function is implicated as a cause of back pain but is not assessed using standard clinical MRI. Our objective was to...
