Signal intensity loss of the intervertebral discs in the cervical spine of young patients on fluid sensitive sequences

Signal intensity loss of the intervertebral discs in the cervical spine of young patients on fluid sensitive sequences

Objective To evaluate the signal intensity (SI) of the intervertebral discs of the cervical spine on magnetic resonance (MR) fluid sensitive sequences, and correlate this to secondary signs of degeneration on MR and radiographs as well as to age. Material and methods A total of 265 patients aged ≥16...
