Painful disc lesion: can modern biplanar magnetic resonance imaging replace discography?
Although MRI is an excellent investigation for assessing disc morphology it should be interpreted along with discography findings before planning fusion surgery. The proposed MRI classification is a useful aid in predicting painful degenerative disc. The utility of HIZs and end plate changes is limited due to low sensitivity.
We provided a weighted risk model with selected SNPs that could be considered for recruitment of infants into studies of early type 1 diabetes natural history or appropriately safe prevention.
