| Abstract: |
| Intervertebral disc degeneration is frequently cited as a cause of low back pain as it would lead to changes in mechanical properties of the disc, causing instability of the spine. In most of the cases, “black disc” and “high intensity zone” in MRI are diagnostic signs of disc degeneration but there is no definite evidence that this is the gold standard for diagnosis of low back pain.With the development of the MRI techniques, Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE), it allows in-vivo measurement of the mechanical properties of different tissues. MRE is a phase-contrast-based technique that can directly visualize and quantitatively measure local values of shear modulus, elasticity and stiffness by propagating acoustic strain waves in tissue subjected to harmonic mechanical excitation[1, 2]. Since the discovery of MRE, studies have been performed in animal tissue[3, 4], human brain[5] and human skeletal muscle[6] to find the mechanical properties of different tissues. MRE has also been shown to be an effective diagnostic tool for breast cancer[7, 8]. However, this technique has not been developed in the intervertebral disc and its application on diagnosis of disc diseases has not yet been explored either. In the current study, we will apply MRE to disc.ObjectiveThis study will apply MRE to detect the mechanical property of spinal disc in normal subjects and patients with degenerative disc disease. Mechanical property change due to pathological condition will be characterized. References[1] R. Muthupillai, P. J. Rossman, D. J. Lomas, J. F. Greenleaf, S. J. Riederer & R. L.
