The aim of this study is to demonstrate T(1ρ) MRI's capability for measuring intervertebral disc osmotic pressure. Self-coregistered sodium and T(1ρ) -weighted MR images were acquired on ex vivo bovine intervertebral discs (N = 12) on a 3 T clinical MRI scanner. The sodium MR images were used to cal

Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is a complex process characterized by biochemical and structural changes in both the nucleus pulposus and the anulus fibrosus. In this study, we were able to obtain in vivo magnetic resonance (MR) images of the rabbit spine, with several MR imaging (MRI) contra
## Abstract An elastomeric intervertebral disc spacer with hydroxyapatite ingrowth surfaces was implanted in a canine model. We studied (a) the mechanical behavior of motion segments at time 0 and at 3, 6, and 12 months and (b) the effect of the interface between the spacer and vertebral bone on im
A method for the volume-and resonance line-selective determination of the longitudinal relaxation time in the rotating frame, T,,, is described. The spin-lock pulse intrinsic to the T,, sequence simultaneously replaces the first slice-selective pulse of the VOSY method for localized spectroscopy. Th
## Abstract T~1ρ~ describes the spin‐lattice relaxation in the rotating frame and has been proposed for detecting damage to the cartilage collagen‐proteoglycan matrix in osteoarthritis. In this study, a multi‐slice T~1ρ~ imaging method for knee cartilage was developed using spin‐lock techniques and
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the lumbar intervertebral discs (IVDs) by MRI in the morning and evening after a diurnal load cycle. Changes in MR characteristics (T2‐weighted imaging, T2‐ and apparent diffusion coefficient [ADC] ‐mapping) during the course of the day were visualized and ana
