Assessment of relative T2 relaxation time of lumbar disc in degenerated intervertebral lumbar disks
Objective To explore the relative T2() ,( relative T2 relaxation time) in lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration. Methods Comparison T2() in 390 discs was performed at different anatomic levels and different Pfirrmann grades in 78 patients. Results In every different anatomic levels, the T2 ratio increased while the Pfirrmann grade increased , significant differences of the T2() were found between other grades. Conclusion Using the T2() of lumbar disc can reflect a good degree of lumbar disc degeneration.
