✦ Synopsis
Human intervertebral discs were investigated by 1H NMR in vitro. The measured parameters of samples differently located in discs give the "maps" of discs. The spin-lattice relaxation-time maps show similar structure to dry matter and bound water maps, which might mean the future possibility to detect certain disc processes via accurate T1 images.
