Synopsis

Keywords: Image Reconstruction, MSKQuantitative imaging of intervertebral disc degeneration is important for the diagnosis of lower back pain. In our study, a simulTaneous multi-relaXation-time Imaging (TXI) method was evaluated, which generated bone marrow fat fraction (PDFF), R2* and R1 mapping within a single scan. The results showed that the BMFF, T2*, T1 mapping calculated from TXI method were close to the values reported in other studies for lumbar discs.
