Abstract excerpt

STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional. OBJECTIVE: To assess the distribution of the ultra-short time-to-echo (UTE) disc sign (UDS) and its association with disc degeneration, other magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) phenotypes, pain, and disability profiles. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Disc degeneration has been conventionally assessed by T2-weighted (T2W) signal intensity on MRI; however, its clinical utility has been...
