Jiang Y, et al. - Researchers intended to test the utility of synthetic MRI in the quantitative evaluation of lumbar intervertebral disk (IVD) degeneration, as contrasted to the conventional CarrPurcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) T2 mapping approach. A sum of 24 individuals with chronic low back pain were included in this study. The relationship between the two T2 measurements was evaluated by Pearson correlation and Bland-Altman analysis. Researchers evaluated statistical differences in quantitative values obtained from MAGiC data across different degeneration grades by one-way ANOVA. The outcomes of this study indicated that synthetic MRI may be applied to give quantitative biomarkers for evaluating the level of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration.
