To explore the relationship between perfusion level and intervertebral disc degeneration.18 individuals underwent MRI exams including DCE-MRI, T2*mapping as well as conventional lumbar imaging. The cranial and caudal VSB and CEP perfusion parameters (Ktrans, Kep, Ve) as well as T2* values of discs were measured. it was found that T2* showed a negative correlation with the Pfirrmann grades, while showed no correlation with the perfusion parameters.
