Chemonucleolysis is an established non-operative treatment of a prolapsed symptomatic lumbar disc. It was introduced as a form of treatment in the early 1960s by Smith [18]. One of the main causes of failure is the difficulty in pre-operative assessment of a contained disc prolapse. Reducing failure

## Abstract The feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging and the magnetization transfer technique for measurement of diurnal fluid changes in lumbar discs was studied with the use of 13 healthy subjects. The diurnal height loss of the subjects ranged from 13 to 21 mm. The disc signal in T~2~βweigh
## Abstract Understanding degenerative intervertebral disc diseases hinges on the ability to objectively and noninvasively assess the disc matrix composition and integrity. The potential of quantitative magnetic resonance imaging to meet these demands was evaluated. Analyzing the __T__~1~ and __T__
