Perfusion and Diffusion Mechanism of Intervertebral Disc-Significance With Age, Degeneration, Posture and Stress Loading.
Not Applicable
Completed
- Conditions
- Spinal Cord Injury, Degenerative Spinal Disease.
- Interventions
- Procedure: imaging diagnostics
- Registration Number
- NCT01973257
- Lead Sponsor
- National Taiwan University Hospital
- Brief Summary
The purpose of our study is to evaluate the perfusion of the IVDs and their diffusion ability by using the Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR perfusion technique and Diffusion weighted image with ADC value measurement, and to determine the relationship between these data and the degeneration of IVDs, the different posture, and different stress-loading status.
