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 c...
