To explore the relationship
between the vertebra subchondral bone (VSB), the cartilage endplate (CEP)
perfusion with intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). 18 individuals
underwent lumbar conventional and DCE-MRI. The
cranial and caudal VSB and CEP perfusion parameters (Ktrans, Kep,
Ve) were measured. The VSB perfusion parameters Kep of Pfirrmann I and II, Pfirrmann
I and IV, Pfirrmann III and IV,the cranial CEP Kep
of Pfirrmann III and II showed significant difference. In the early progress of
IVDD, its metabolism increase compensatory, clinical research should put more
emphasis on early onset stage of IVDD such as in Pfirrmann II.
