Abstract excerpt

STUDY DESIGN: A longitudinal study. OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to explore the role of digital magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, by extending our earlier 5-year follow-up study of progression of lumbar spine degeneration with quantitative measures of disc degeneration. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: A longitudinal study is optimal for investigating disc degeneration but only a few studies (with small sample sizes)...
