## Abstract This study examined the feasibility of using shortβecho waterβsuppressed pointβresolved spectroscopy (PRESS) on a clinical 3T magnetic resonance (MR) scanner for evaluating biochemical changes in degenerated bovine and cadaveric human intervertebral discs. In bovine discs (__N__ = 17),

## Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging was used to determine the __T__~2~ relaxation times of prepared proteoglycan solutions and of normal human intervertebral disc tissue from the annulus fibrosus (AF) and nucleus pulposus (NP). The collagen, proteoglycan, and water contents of the disc tissue sa
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the influence of targeted trypsin digestion and 16 hours compression loading on MR parameters and the mechanical and biochemical properties of bovine disc segments. ## Materials and Methods Twentyβtwo 3βdisc bovine coccygeal segments underwent compression lo
