Synthetic MRI has become a recent research hotspot due to its advantages of short-time acquiring multiple sets of weighted images and quantitative maps in one time. Synthetic MRI has been successfully used for the diagnosis of many cerebral diseases, but its feasibility and stability in other tissues and lesions need to be further studied. The current study demonstrates that the utility of synthetic MRI is slightly better than conventional T2 mapping in diagnosing intervertebral disc degeneration. In addition, one-time MAGiC scan on lumbar vertebrae should be concerned for clinical diagnosis.
