Synthetic MRI is an emerging technique that can produce multiple morphologic contrasts from a single sequence, as well as quantitative T1, T2 and proton density maps. It has been successfully used in the brain, but its role is less well established for MRI of the spine. We aimed to assess the effectiveness and feasibility of synthetic MRI of the lumbar spine by comparing the image quality and diagnostic ability.
