ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the value of ADC and FA of diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)and T2 value of T2 mapping for assessing lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration.Methods 12 cases of healthy volunteers(8 males and 4 females),28 cases of patients with chronic low back pain(15 males and 13 females,19-70 years old)were performed lumbar spine MRI,DTI and T2 mapping to obtain ADC,FA and T2 value.Intervertebral discs were classified according to the Pfirrmann grading.The correlations of different degeneration grade with ADC,FA and T2 value were analyzed.The diagnostic value of ADC,FA and T2 values of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration were compared. Results Both ADC value and T2 value were significantly negative correlated with lumbar intervertebral disc degeneratic Pfirrminn grading(r=-0.779,r=-0.708,P<0.001).FA value were positively correlated with Pfirrminn grading(r=0.474,P<0.001), the correlation was not closely.Conclusion DTI and T2 mapping can be effectively used to quantitatively evaluate the degeneration degree of lumbar intervertebral disc,the diagnostic value of ADC was the highest,followed by T2 ,and FA was the worst.
